Dear Chandan, pleased to hear from you; Puspa and I enjoyed your company at Harewood very much. We hope you both reached home safely. Our regards to Bonti .
Many thanks once again for your generous donation to ASSUK Assam Flood Relief Fund; response to our appeal is also very slow. In the next few days we are planning to see the High Commissioner here to press I.G. for redoubling the relief effort ; the problem at the moment is to get an appointment to see him. Hope to post a progress report soon. regards Gagon Hazarika ----- Original Message ----- From: Chan Mahanta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Mahesh C.
