I have great faith in you and I belive no one cares for my health and happiness better than you. If you wish that I should lead a healthy and happy life and serve my Lord siva and my Mother Tamil without trouble and hindrance, you will kindly fulfil my desire as early as pos- sible Failure of health often interrupts my great work and makes me sad.

Yours lovingly,
Maraimalai adigal
