Dear Prabhas Babu:

In further reference to my last letter sent in reply to your letter dated April 2, 1969, I am surprized that the packages sent by Jayagovinda das Brahmachary as well as those sent by Atma Ram & Sons have not yet been sent. You acknowledged that these goods are ready to be shipped in your letter of April 2, 1969, but you have still not shipped them. I could understand that there was a delay on account of Pibhuti Babu's disappearance, but why are they still delayed? Please let me know why the shipping of our goods is so tremendously delayed. Kindly treat this letter as very urgent, and let me know why my goods have not been shipped yet.

Package 6. 1,400 Assorted Brijbasi pictures
8 dozen Assorted brass incense holders
2 dozen red chandan malas
50 odd Srimad Bhagavatam prospectus
16 Easy Journey To Other Planets

and personal effects amounting to 3 pairs brass cymbals, 4 old copies of Back To Godhead 8 wooden incense holders, 5 tubes incense, 7 tulsi malas from Vrindaban with kuntis and counter beads, regular items for performance of puja namely, conch, 5-light lamp, incense holder, cup and spoon, one set of Srimad Bhagavatams, notes, etc. In addition, 8 bundles of books were sent to you by Atma Ram & Sons, containing Srimad Bhagavatam, Vol. One—104 copies, Vol. Two—110 copies, Vol. Three—46 copies.

I am awaiting your early reply.
