Dear Dr.
Krishna Rau,
Many thanks for your kind
letter of the 28th November, acknowledging the packet of booklets which I had sent to you
regarding our Colleges. I wish to express my sincere gratitude to you for your
congratulations which you describe as 'humble', among the 'mighty ones'. It is needless
for me t¢ point out that there is no question of the quality of the person in the matter
of offering good-will, good-wishes or congratulations. To me, your congratulations mean
quite a lot, knowing you as I do and your affection for me. Incidentally, I may add that,
even considered by certain sophisticate standards you have every right to be included
among the mighty ones.
You will forgive me for
pointing out a little "mistake" in your letter in the matter of your addressing
me. I have ceased to emphasise the "Chettiar" suffix, in my name, and, in fact,
Mr.. Tampi, the Principal has left off "chettiar" and tells our Arts College
just as "Alagappa College" I am rather intrigued to note in your letter that you
are going one step further or perhaps away when you describe me as "Alagappa
Chettiar". I am sure that Is the invention of your typist rather than your goodself!
