My dear Satsvarupa,
Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your zonal report dated December 13, 1976 and have noted the contents carefully.
The parents' meeting in Detroit was very nice. It is a very good idea to organize a "Parents for Krishna" club. Try to do that. Regarding Chicago, why isn't the boy returned yet? He should be returned right away.
I will be going to the Kumbha Mela around the 10th or 12th of this month. I will stay as long as possible up to three weeks. then we'll be going to Mayapur until the festival.
Hoping this will meet you in good health.
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
