Old friendship die hard !

Ravi:

Thanks indeed for the report much obliged. Allow me to relate a personal experience I had with Sen.Moynihan then the U.S Ambassador to India. I was student at Agra University and one my subjects was American Literature and I could not find certain books in our library by Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost I believe,so I wrote a letter to the Ambassador explaining my predicament and he promptly ordered the U.S Information Service and the USIS library I believe to send me the complete works of both these eminent American writers and they in turn send me the books via parcel post with a note saying that they are sending the books per the Ambassadors request and take all the time I need to read and study them before returning it to the library.

I also got a letter from Ambassador Moynihan expressing his appreciation for my interest in American literature and told me to expect the books shortly as he has instructed the American library to send me the books as soon as possible.

This was back in the 70s and though a small event it was a pretty big
deal for me and still is.I thought I let you guys know about it.

I also had a similar experience with the New Zealand Ambassador and the New Zealand Prime Minister's wife [no no hanky-panky with the wife I can assure you] but that is another story for another day.<gg>
