My dear Brahmananda, Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated Nov. 11, 1968, and I have noted the contents.

My dear Bali Mardan, Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated November 11,1969, and I take it as practical proposal to open our Samkirtan Movement activities in Tokyo.

Now at the present moment,...

Dear Hitsaranji, Please accept my blessings. With further reference to my letter dated November 1, 1969, I beg to inform you that immediately I want one pair of Radha-Krishna Deities in London.

It is also good news that you have found the improved atmosphere in our Temples after visiting and things are going on...
San Jose My dear Madhukantha, Please accept my blessings. I am very much thankful to you for your kindly report from San Jose far away from me now.

My dear Rsabhadeva, Please accept my blessings. I beg to thank you for your encouraging letter dated October 1st, 1970, and your appreciations of devotional service in Krsna Consciousness are very nice.

If the regulative principles are strictly followed...
Detroit My dear Nilambara dasa: Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter undated together with letters from your friends and I am glad to see they are taking serious interest along with yourself in this movement of Lord Caitanya.

Los Angeles My dear Gunagrahi, Please accept my blessings. I am in receipt of your request for initiations. Now hold a fire sacrifice for these devotees.
