MADRAS.

My Dear Friend,

This is your book as much as mine. If the speeches delivered here achieved any good among our friends at Perambur it is due to your excellent translations of them. What could I have done in the Labour work in this city without you? You translated my speeches not my words merely but their very spirit. We have rejoiced and suffered together with thousands. Your unobtrusive manner, your loyal support, your sagacious advice have been priceless. Let me request you to accept this small gift of dedication for your all too splendid services.

Ever yours,

B. P. WADIA
