&ear Mary

'orry for the delay in replying to your letter. In fact I had gone to (rance on holiday. Let me tell

you something very important) I happened to see a motor car accident of such a serious nature

that I too* a long time to recover from the shoc* administered by it. 'ince the event has left an

ineffaceable mar* on my memory and since it was largely responsible for the delay I am guilty

of in replying to your letter I would li*e to give here an account of the same. Meanwhile I may

assure you that I have deepest love and affection for you and I can never thin* not even in the

dream of being indifferent to you. In future you will receive my letters in timeI promise.

+ow to the accident when I was returning from (rance by bus I saw that a truc* and a motor car were racing abnormally fast side by side. ,oth were sounding horns and yet both were *een on

by passing each other. -he sound of horns was creating a deafening noise and clouds of dust

were rising roll after roll. ur bus was also running at full speed which enabled us to see fully

well the truc* motor car race which was going on ahead of us. /ll of a sudden we heard a crash.

,oth the truc* and the motor car came to a stand still. -he clouds of dust were now gone to the

hori0ons on all directions and the noise created by the engines of both the vehicles was not being

heard. Instead we heard heart1rending cries of women and children. In a few seconds our bus

also came to the same spot and stopped there. 2e found that the motor car in a bid to overta*e

and pass the truc* had dashed against a tree. -he steering wheel of the car had pierced deep into

the bosom of the driver and it appeared that his soul must have left his odd instantaneously. -he

window glasses were bro*en to pieces and their splinters had made deep wounds on the bodiesof the passengers. -here were 3 passengers inside the car besides the driver4two young men

were seriously in5ured and the bleeding was so profuse that despite first aid administered to them

by some of the passengers of our bus it could not be stopped and the two young people

succumbed to fatal in5uries 5ust in the presence of all of us. -he girls who happened to be as it

was *nown later on to be their sisters were crying and beating their breast. ne of the children

had its right arm cut. 'uch a serious and shoc*ing accident I had never witnessed before. 6ven

after my reaching home I went on thin*ing and thin*ing of the ways of destiny and it was after

long time that I could recover from the shoc*. 2ho could imagine the agony and grief of the *ith

and *in 7 2ishing you happy and prosperous life.

Love you/ndy
