16 October 1899

From Jaimal Singh: Lots of Love to my obedient son, Babu Sawan Singh. 

This is to let you know that Chanan Singh arrived at the Dera from his home on 14 October 1899. There is some work for him, so he will stay here for ten days and reach your place on 24 or 25 October. Please carry on as best as you can in his absence. He has some urgent work to do here, that’s why he has been asked to stay. 

Another point: the Gurumukhi Khalsa Akhbar people were asking me for 3 rupees and 14 annas. You wrote that you had paid the amount. If you have already paid, why are they asking me for money?

Bibi’s best wishes to you, her dear brother.
