My Dear Avirama das:
[text missing] as follows:
David Milo Cramer- Dhruva das
Ernest Czwal- Drsta das
Thomas Gribble- Takrahari
John Paul Gribble-Jagatsakha
Ron Jermakakian- Rajakari
Joseph Rizzo- Ragaputra
Jerome Schein - Srisa
Joseph Cyril Streb- Sarvopama
Marsha Bryant- Manini
Aurora Gribble- Akancani
Farnie Spottswood- Srutirupa devi dasi
Donna Tonkinson- Drsya
[handwritten] John Hill - Jambavan [handwritten]
As you have suggested, you may hold a fire sacrifice and the beads may be chanted upon by Rupanuga Prabhu. You should impress upon the new disciples that they are taking vows before Radha and Krsna, the spiritual master, and the Vaisnavas. They must always chant at least 16 rounds daily and avoid the four sinful activities.
I hope this meets you in good health.

Your ever well wisher,

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
