My dear Hayagriva,
Please accept my blessings.I thank you very much for your letter of the 17th instant and I have noted the contents.We had recently very bad experience about advancing money and therefore in no case I am prepared to advance money specially such large amount (ammount) as 4500 dollars.At least I shall not agree to this.Why not invest the money in the Varitype machine and get ourselves practiced to do the work.I have taken information from the Varitype co. that they teach the purchaser of the machine on working without any charges.And they say that any good typewriter (goodtypewriter) can learn the art very quickly without any difficulty.If you agree to work on it and then we can negotiate with the company seriously for purchasing the machine.And if we can work on the machine regularly and get ten pages ready daily partly by you and partly by Satsvarupa or partly by Rayrama and then our printing problem will be solved.We can then print also Back to Godheadso that we can get more selling agents.So these are the consideration and I shall be glad (gald) to have your good opinion.
I am so pleased to learn that you are all feeling my separation and so I am feeling here.This feelings of separation has very great significance namely that we are being gradually posted in real Krishna consciousness.I am receiving many other letters from the Devotees in San Francisco and telephonic calls indicating their feelings of separation the basis of Lord Chaitanya’s mode of Krishna consciousness.The more we feel like that it is better for our advancement.However from physical point of view, as there is now difficulty to go to Montreal, I may return to San Francisco sometimes in the next month.
There is possibility of opening two more branches one in Baltimore and the other in Boston.Brahmananda, Rayrama and Mahapurusa three boys have already gone to Boston last night to see the situation and we shall have to act according to situation.In Baltimore one gentleman namely John De Priest is attracted with our movement and he proposes that somebody in Baltimore may give some land to build temple there.Let us see how Krishna desires in this respect.I shall be glad hear from you about your opinion for purchasing the varitype machine.We are prepared to purchase the machine immediately on hearing from you.Please send me the address of Jayananda.I have not heard from him as well as from Haridas and Shyamsunder.I hope all of them are doing well.Herewith I am writing some notes to Sriman Shyamsunder and returning one dishonored check please find.
