Srila Prabhupada writes a letter to daughter Sally Agarwal. Sally Agarwal was the wife of Gopal Agarwal. When Srila Prabhupada arrived in the USA, he lived first in the house of Gopal Agarwal at Butler, Pennsylvania. Srila Prabhupada was very caring and affectionate to their family. He personally cooked prasadam for them all. He was fatherly to Sally Agarwal.

In this letter, Srila Prabhupada wrote, “Regarding your reminder for my good cooking, I am very much thankful to you and next time when I shall go to your home, I must serve you with good lunches without fail. Now I am far away from you otherwise I would have at once gone to you and entertained you with such lunches. I am anxious to learn about the health of you all specially of your little children. How is your naughty daughter Kamla. Please offer them my love and blessings and so also accept both of you. Please write to me occasionally and as Gopala is not accustomed to reply promptly I shall henceforward write to you. Did you meet your good father and mother in the meantime? If you meet them please offer them my respectful regards. Both your father and mother are good souls and therefore you are a good daughter of your parents. I remember all of you always.“
