By [your] kindness there, we are fine and happy here. [If everything at] your feet there is fine and auspicious, we [too] will be elevated. Furthermore, tidings here are good.
[Regarding the] following: When [your] letter from Bombay reached ---1---1 I felt enormous joy in [my] heart as if I had seen you. Time and again [the following thought] has entered my mind: "When will I see [your] feet and be rid of all misery and sorrow?" Here all of us starting with ---2--- (i.e., śrī 5 sarkāra) are fine. Other details will be made known [to you] through a royal letter (baḍāpatra). Moreover, if you send us [a letter with information on your] corporal well-being and [with] instructions, we will be protected. What else [to say] to the knowledgeable?
