My dear Sukadeva,
Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge your letter of April 16, 1974.
I am glad to accept the devotees recommended by you for first initiation, and their new spiritual names are as follows:
1. Jerry S. Macdougal====Jalākāra dāsa 2. Michael Askvig========Manusuta dasa 3. Allen Conticchio======Anagha dāsa 4. Deborah Conticchio====Dhanasri dāsi
Now take good care of these devotees so that they they remain always enthusiastically engaged in chanting, hearing, reading our books and following the regulative principles.
Your ever well wisher,
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
