I have received your letter and noted the contents. Hurrichand once wrote to me that the Americans wished to send down some money. When Hurrichand saw me since, I told him to spread the news everywhere and chiefly among all the Samajis; and to acknowledge the sums, when sent, with the names of the donors, in the newspapers. He replied that he would be guided by the wish of the Americans. And I asked him further to spend the sums in three ways; 1st, in the spread of general knowledge and literature of the Vedas; 2ndly, in societies for preaching morality, etc.; and lastly, in the relief of the poor. It turns out now that he did nothing of the kind.” | I have received your letter and noted the contents. Hurrichand once wrote to me that the Americans wished to send down some money.

But the words of the Swami himself give the lie direct to this novel defence. The friends of Hurrichand will now see the worth of the person whom they were defending with such zeal. Do they know, that they were “advocates for an impostor?” {{Style S-HPB SB. Continues on|8-246}} | Now what does this extract prove? It proves nothing that favours the cause of Hurrichand Chintaman.
