Dear President Dhebarji,

I have been ill for almost one full year and a little more with the foul disease, cancer which has over-powered me. Our good friend, Shri G.B. Kotak had been here with his wife once during his visit to the South and cheered me up with his presence and blessed me. My suffering is so intense that I am feeling really desperate and unable to bear the hard blows of Providence. Still, I plant my faith in Him and keep waiting for some relief to come some day.

In this background of my health you will kindly excuse me for writing this letter, a letter which perhaps I should not write. Shri M. Palaniappan,M.L.A. (Congress constituency of Alsoor) Bangalore is a very good friend of mine and has come down to Karaikudi and seen my educational institutions at work. I am deeply interested in his welfare as he has indicated his care for my institutions more than once. These are days of politics naturally at work. I shall be grateful if you will just kindly bear in mind that I have a very high opinion of the character and capacity for selfless service of my friend Mr. Palaniappan.

With kindest regards,


Shri U. N. Dhebar
President, Indian National Congress,
Jantar Mantar Road, New Delhi.
Yours sincerely,

Sd...RM.Alagappa_Chettiar
