My Dear Shyamsunder,
Please accept my blessings and offer the same to your good companion Srimati Malatidevi. Please inform her that I have received her letter with great appreciation and I shall meet her very soon in San Francisco. Regarding your inquiry about the valuable woodred you have secured, I would advise you to attempt carving Lord Chaitanya and His associates Murtis as I am sending herewith the specimen. If possible you can carve also the Forms of Radha and Krishna separately. If not you can go on carving the same three Forms of Jagannath brother and sister because we have to open many centers one after another. I wish to open two centers immediately one in Los Angeles as suggested by Haridas and other in Vancouver. I have a friend in Vancouver who is devotee of Srimad Bhagavat Puranam and with his help we can open a centre at Vancouver.
I am very glad to see your enthusiasm in the service of Lord Krishna and I am sure that this spiritual intoxicant of Krishna consciousness will encourage many many students who are actually in search after the Absolute Truth. I am very glad to learn that my students and children in San Francisco are doing well in Krishna consciousness.

Your ever well wisher,

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami.
