My dear Tulsi das,
Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated October 13, 1975 and I have noted the contents with care.
I have marked how you are making mridangas. Make many mridangas. It will solve a great problem.
Concerning your idea to go port to port by ship, why waste time and energy. Don't spoil money purchasing boat. Port to port we can go by airplane.
I hope that this meets you in good health.

Your ever well-wisher,

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
