My dear Rakesh,

I am in receipt of your letter of the 12th instant. I am very glad to learn from it about your recovery from long illness. Please accept my hearty congratulations on your recovery from typhoid. I thank God that you have got rid of this dangerous disease.

You must have grown very weak. So you must be very careful about your health. Follow strictly the doctor’s instructions regarding your diet. Take only fruit juice and milk for some time. Take complete rest. Do not study at all. When you have picked up enough strength, you may go for a walk to the river or a garden in the morning. Fresh and pure air will have a very good effect on your health. Congratulating you again. I am,

Your loving cousin
