The followiong letter is a kind of blessing by our very very senior author hon'ble Noel KinG. I remember having read his forward on Sangat's Book where in he has accepted that in the present age i.e after 1990 AD the Sikhs are lying low but will rise again like a phoenix does. He says it is a character of Sikh nation. ////////////////// My Dear Doctor Sahib,////////////// Thank you for your copy re:Master Tara Singh. He was got in the train at Amritsar and traveled with me to Lahore. I found him highly intelligent and very friendly and he joked much about my desire to go to Ireland and have a Wolfhound, which came true when I got to Watsonville so many years later. It is said that he charmed the bicrene into Ward Radcliffe to redraw the border including Sri Amritsar of the Indian side. ////////////// I have just got home from Dominican Hospital and have been away for about 3 weeks. Mr. Harrington, he was with me at your son's glorious wedding and is again is rendering much help to. If the bhai of U of Texas passes by, please bring him to see me. Please visit me also if you get a chance. I look forward to seeing the latest draft of Miri-Piri whenever it is ready. It will raise much controversy but I am sure its fundamental premises are correct. //////////////// With love, Noel/////////// --- "Tarlochan S.
