I have also received a letter from the brother of late Dharamshi Pragji. The laws in Transvaal are a little rigid. Hence there will be a long delay in his successors getting his bequest. While clearing the accounts with Shivalalbhai, please remember that we had deposited some money belonging to Rustomji Sheth of Durban with Shivalalbhai. My work has lightened, enough men to work in the office. Of course, increase in expenses. |
