"My Dear Sir,
"Dada's letter of the 18th September just reached me. I am glad to hear that first half of the Currency Note for Rs. 100 has reached you. I enclose the second half.
"Dada tells me to send you 15 Rupees every month, as my contribution to the widow marriage fund. If you have no objection, I will send my subscription in advance for six months, this will be more convenient to me than sending it every month. * * *
