PRESENT

Dear Sir,

I am in receipt of your letter of the 6th August 1945 asking me to pay up my overdraft of $969189.41 and in reply I beg to state that it is impossible for me to pay up the said overdraft as I am absolutely penniless, and at present living on sharity from friends, and living in a charitable institution of the Hongkong Zoroastrian Charity Funds.

Yours faithfully,

(sd.) R. A. DASTU R.

P.8.

Kindly note that my present address is:

P.C. BOX No.525 Hongkong.

If delivered to my home address 101, Leighton Hill Road,

it is likely to go astray if I am not at home at that time.
