Excellency,
Unfortunately r^r/ wife and rryself are prevented from
attending t. e •^ecption. I vrant to express, hovrever, vr.y yjrofound
tjratitude for the contacts I v:as perrr'itted to have with your
rxcellency personally and with the embassy generally. It was a
hursan privilege to make your acquaintance, and you may be sure
that the problems of India have been made :;o rae more impressive
than ever before. In fact, they are a real challenge to the
present generation of the v/orld's economists, and I hope to take
a modest part in their solution.
No doubt you V J H I be able to use on your future
post, to the advantage of the relations between India and Pakistan,
the wisdon and charm characteristic of your personality. With all
best v/lshes for your personal well-being, I am
yours very sincerely.

The Afflbassador
