Dear Dr. Gyanee:
Your long letter written on December 25th arrived two or three
days ago. I am sorry to hear that your health is still a problem
but I hope that it continues to improve and that you will be able
to carry on your speaking tour in the colleges of the Punjab
without difficulty.
I have sent your list of books to the Sather Gate Book Shops, our
suppliers in San Francisco, to be filled. The books will be mailed
directly to you at the Self Culture Association of India.
Regarding your request for funds for some cabins, I regret that
we will be unable to give any financial assistance to this project.
Having devoted over 17 years and all our resources during that
time to helping India and Indians, we have now discontinued this
aspect of our program at Goma's express request, in order to do
something of benefit to Hawaii, where we have lived for over 40
years and where the Foundation has derived its income. We are
planning some living memorials for Goma and we are, therefore,
unable to give any financial grants for the construction of
buildings.
Mrs. Sanger's address is:
65 Sierra Vista Drive
Tucson, Arizona
Thank you for your offer to be of service to the Foundation, if and
when we need it you can be sure we will call upon you.
I hope 1960 will be one of the richest and most rewarding years of
your life.
Sincerely yours,
Mrs. G.J. Watumull, Chairman
