Santiniketan. 16. 1. 23. My dear sir,
I received your telegram 3 days ago, but the Poet only came yesterday. The Principal and myself went to see him at once, to invite him to attend the Pratishta-Ceremony. But he is very sorry, not to be able to attend, as he has been away just now, and his health is not at all good. He said that he would send you a telegram himself, which you no doubt will have by this time. The Principal also is unable to come. So I am afraid, I shall have to come alone. I have got my servant now. So there will be no difficulty though you must remember that I am strange in this country. So I shall be very thankful for any advice you can give me as to my journey to Gwalior and Shivpuri. I am waiting for a reply to my last letter. With kind regards,
I am,
Yours very sincerely,
