Best wishes and Sri Wahiguru Ji ki Fateh from Jaimal Singh to my obedient son, Babu Sawan Singh, to Babu Hari Ram, Babu Kahan Singh, Ishar Das, and to all the other Satsangis.

May the infinite Grace and Mercy of the compassionate Soami Ji be upon you all the time. 

Dear son

If a letter, postcard, or money order for me arrives at your place, please redirect it to the Dera after correcting the address. With the Grace of the compassionate Soami Ji, I arrived safe and sound at the Dera on Monday at two o’clock in the afternoon. On the day I left you, I reached the railway station at nine o’clock at night and boarded the mail (fast) train at 1 a.m. … 

We are trying to find pipal tree gum, but have not had any success so far. The genuine product is not available. Plenty of imitations are on offer, but we are not buying those. I will send you some when it is available. Apply fomentation to the leg, if it gives some relief, and also have it massaged occasionally. Hazur will now, day by day, improve your leg, so please do not have any worry.

Do your Bhajan and Simran daily, and be sure to send me a letter once a week about your condition as it improves. Write every Friday. Hazur Soami Ji is with you in every way. May the Lord’s Grace be upon Chanan Singh and Basant Singh.

Please convey Bibi’s best wishes to everyone.
