Surja Mukhi replied, "When Haro Mani comes I will tell you."[15] [Footnote 15: The wife does not utter the name of her husband except under stress of necessity.] Haro Mani, having arrived, addressed the letter to Nagendra Natha Datta, and took it to the post-office.

When the _Brahmachari_ had gone, Surja Mukhi, with tearful eyes, joined hands, and upturned face, put up her petition to the Creator, saying, "Oh, supreme God, if you are faithful, then, as I am a true wife, may this letter accomplish its end.

I knew nothing during my life save the feet of my husband.

I do not desire heaven as the reward of my devotion; this only I desire, that I may see my husband ere I die." But the letter did not reach Nagendra.

He had left Govindpur long before it arrived there.
