1967 Correspondence

Did you order these pictures or were they sent of their own accord?

Letter to Mukunda -- Delhi 29 September, 1967:

I understand from your letter that you received one consignment of pictures from Brijbasi of Bombay. Did you order these pictures or were they sent of their own accord? From New York we placed an order last April, to their Delhi office the Delhi branch says that the order is forwarded to Bombay for execution. Please inform N.Y. that you have received the pictures. I think the picture you have must belong to the N.Y. branch.
