Thank you for the letter you sent last month, and I would like to wish you a very HAPPY AND PROSPERCUS NEW YEAR.
I enclose some photographs which I took of the boat and which you wanted me to send. There are several others which I will send later, but I need to have some copies made of them.
I am trying to find some Japanese people who want to come to Kashmir and stay on your houseboat, but it very difficult. Also I have not had time to find the fishing gear that you needed but soon I will get round to it.
How is the weather now in Kashmir; I expect it is very cold and snowy. It is fairly warm here and the sun shines most days.
I really did have a good vacation in Kashmir and hope to return soon; I will let you know for sure when I have decided what to do in the summer.
