My Dear Gargamuni,

Please accept my blessings. Regarding the land in Vrindaban Mr. Sarif has promised but he has not given, so forget that proposition. Enclosed find the copy of a letter to Gorachand Goswami. Deliver it to him, and if Gorachand replies me in writing, then we can consider that possibility. Then we can take the matter seriously.
Regarding Brahma Kund, the donor Dinabandhu is going to give it to us in pukkha writing or legal form by the 15th January, and then we can repair that house to our living, making the doors, etc. secure. In the meantime you can use my Radha-Damodar rooms, but make the locks and doors secure.
As for municipal land, see the municipal chairman personally. We wanted land within the city. In the meantime, you can show the chairman the enclosed pictures from "Dharma Yug" magazine, latest issue, how we are a world-wide organization, as well as other clippings from Toronto, etc. So far our devotees, Americans are concerned, they have nothing to do with politics. We are [text missing] Nixons. A statement was issued by me and published in [text mising] papers stating this fact and calling on the Indian [text missing] my disciples as Vaishnavas, who are above all mundane, [text missing].
I hope this will meet you all in good health.

Your ever well-wisher,

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

n.b. Regarding land on the Jamuna-side, if there is flood, it will be difficult to be there. They wanted to give 4 acres near the Town Hall. Give a copy of your typing to me. Make inquiry why my letter was not received at Vrindaban P. O. I am sending the receipt.
