Paris,

From: Harikesa

Bombay

My dear Giriraja prabhu,

Please accept my humble obeisances at your feet. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Enclosed please find three copies of letters to the Bank of America which are self explanatory and one to the Punjab N Bank. I do not know the address in Bombay of the PNB therefore I am sending it to you with Srila Prabhupada’s approval so that you may deliver or mail the letter registered post acknowledgement due and as all of them will acknowledge to Bombay please keep the receipts with you so when we come to Bombay then they may be collected and filed at that time. Please just see that they do these things. Srila Prabhupada is very anxious to maintain his schedule which means that about the 15th he will be in Bombay.

In London Srila Prabhupada spent about five minutes saying the nicest things in praise of your good qualities and insisted on continuing in all kinds of ways to glorify your abilities to convince men to help us and give things and money. It is very glorious for you that Srila Prabhupada thinks so highly of you. I envy your position for I am a fool and rascal number one without any good qualities therefore Srila Prabhupada can find nothing to praise. I am hoping to someday perform my devotional service in such a way that he will similarly become pleased upon me and grant his blessings. You may also grant me your blessings for you are blessed by his lotus dust upon your head. Therefore all glories to His Divine Grace. I hope that you will be happy and prosper for a long time by continuing to please your spiritual master. your fool servant
