Dear friend,
I thank you for your letter and your pamphlets.8 I am sorry to have to inform you that my experiment having apparently proved a failure I had to suspend it for a more auspicious occasion when I could have more leisure. I must confess that I have not yet found the substitute for milk. I have been recommended soya bean milk which I have not yet tried, soya bean not easily procurable in India. I am trying, however, to procure it. There is no difficulty about living healthily without milk but there is considerable difficulty in becoming strong after having lost it by protracted illness. Over forty companions tried unfired food with me and the majority of them could not make it a success and had to leave it.
Yours sincerely,
M. Hindhede, Esq.
