RAMANUJAN TO KRISHNA ROW

 
WRITING ORIGINAL PAPERS

Trinity College,
7th Aug., 1914.
  My dear Krishna Row,

 

Received your kind letter of 7th July. Very glad to hear that you have passed your apprentice examination. Glad to hear also that Mr. Ananda Row is coming here, and I am ready to help him in any sort of way I can be of use to him.

 

I came here at the end of the year for the climatic conditions as you know. The college was closed in the middle of June and it will be reopened in the middle of October. There is nobody here except Prof. Hardy as the examinations are all over and all have gone outside. I can write to you something interesting to you after the vacation is over. That is why I have nothing to write to you at present and you will excuse me for that.

I have written three papers till now. The proof sheets have come. I am writing three more papers. All will be published at the end of the vacation, i.e. in October.
 

It will be difficult for Mr. Ananda Row to reach London through the Channel and the Thames owing to the present war, and so it is better for him to get down at Plymouth or some other seaport.

 

Has your brother determined to go over here? Hoping all in your family are doing well and wishing a happy and successful career in life.

 

Yours sincerely,
E.H. Neville.
