My dear Sukadeva,

Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter undated.

I am very glad to know that you have worked so diligently that the BBT debt has become almost nothing. It is very good that you have gone to Hawaii. It is a very good preaching field and our house there is one of the nicest in ISKCON. It simply requires very enthusiastic preaching and side by side very careful management. So I am confident that you can do both.

As you say that the mango season is fast approaching, then I will come and visit by April or May. Everyone knows that I am very fond of mangos. Actually amongst all fruits I like them most. They are considered the king of fruits. And Hawaii has very excellent mangos.

The Panca Tattva should not have long hair. It should only come to Their shoulders as you have shown in the drawing. Please correct this.

I hope this letter finds you well.

Your ever well wisher,

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami

Sriman Sukadeva das Adhikary

P. S. If Gurukripa Maharaj is there please ask him to send me a report.

N.B. The initiation letter is coming by separate post.
