MARY ANNE KRUPSAK LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR

March 7, 1977

Mr. Sri Chinmoy c/o Mr. James V. Miccio 1617 New Haven Avenue Millford, Connecticut 06460

Dear Mr. Chinmoy:

It is my great pleasure to congratulate you upon completion of your three hundredth book since coming to the United States in 1964. This surely is an unprecedented accomplishment in so few years.

I also must commend you for creating the Liberty Torch Run at which it was my pleasure to light the Torch in Battery Park. I am sure that the journey was as much an inspirational event for all who took part as it was, indeed, for me.

With best wishes,

Sincerely, Mary Anne Krupsak
