My Dear Ramesvar das Prabhu:

Please accept my humble obeisances. I am in due receipt of your letter dated October 25, 1974 and acknowledge receipt of all of the items. I thank you for this, and feel that your service obligates me to performing my duty very conscientiously. I had asked for a small manual typewriter from you because the only models available in India are the big office models. Anyway Rastrapalika has now arranged to give me one, which she had another devotee bring from U.S.A. Regarding the letterhead, there is a very large quantity of the air mail letterhead, so I do not think you have to especially print up more of the regular weight. If more aerograms are required, I will inform you. You can get aerograms printed without any postage stamps on them?

I asked Srila Prabhupada about the balance of the money withheld from Guru Kripa’s collection, that these were expenses that BBT lent him in advance, but Prabhupada confirmed that all of the collection must be sent here, even if it means BBT donating the money. This was after our phone talk.

Please send me a list of all of the names of temple presidents. If a secretary is managing the temple then give his name. You can number the temples and give them according to GBC zone.

Prabhupada said it is all right if I ask that BBT henceforth pay the air fares for the editor and typist on Prabhupada’s party. So when we get ready to leave India, I will cable you for the needful.

I hope this meets you in good health.

Your servant,

Brahmananda Swami
