My dear Gopabandhoo,
I enclose some notes on the economic condition in Orissa. You are at liberty to use them in the best way they can be used. The great thing is to induce the men to change the hue of gravitation of these money.
I am anxious for your health. I have grown desperate and may pass away any day. You are the only person with whom I should like to pray in my death bed.
Take care of your health. Orissa is very unfortunate. If Ashutosh had lived he would have made a magnificent thing of this Tannery.
He was personally attached to me and I have lost more than a brother in him.
I commenced public life single handed and it is natural I made mistakes, but I hope you believe that any thing but country’s interest was my ruling idea.
I am enclosing a letter to the Samaj over my signature and its enclosure is your letter. Please see that they are published.
