BALARĀM BĀBU,

As soon as you get the railway receipt, please send someone to the railway warehouse at Fairlie Place (Calcutta) to pick up the roses and send them on to Shashi. See that there is no delay in bringing or sending them.

Bāburām is going to Allahabad soon. I am going elsewhere.

NARENDRA.

PS. Know it for certain that everything will be spoiled if delayed.
