My dear Subhas,
How are you? I hope you are well by the grace of God. We all are well here. In this letter I am going to share a happy news with you.
Last week I went to Digha by train along with my parents. We stayed in White Lily Guest House. We spent two days and two nights. We visited many interesting places like Digha Science City, Amarabati Park etc. We walked along the sea beach. In the morning we went to the sea beach to enjoy the beautiful scene of sun-rising. We also bathed in the Bay of Bengal. After spending two days we started homeward journey and returned home at night. We enjoyed the journey very much.
No more today. Please convey my regard to your parents and love to you.
Your loving friend

(বাংলা অনুবাদ: তুমি কেমন আছো? আমি আশা করছি তুমি ভগবানের কৃপায় ভালোই আছো। আমরাও এখানে সকলে ভালো আছি। এই চিঠিতে আমি তোমার সাথে একটা খুশির খবর শেয়ার করতে চলেছি।
গত সপ্তাহে আমি আমার বাবা-মার সাথে দীঘা গেছিলাম। আমরা হোয়াইট লিলি গেস্ট হাউসে ছিলাম। আমরা দু-দিন ও দু-রাত কাটিয়েছিলাম। আমরা অনেক আকর্ষনীয় জায়গায় গিয়েছিলাম যেমন দীঘা সায়েন্স-সিটি, অমরাবতী পার্ক ইত্যাদি। আমরা সমুদ্রের তীর ধরে হেঁটেছিলাম। সকালে আমরা সমুদ্রের তীরে গিয়েছিলাম সূর্য-উদয়ের সুন্দর দৃশ্য উপভোগ করার জন্য। আমরা বঙ্গোপসাগরে স্নান করেছিলাম। দুদিন কাটানোর পর আমরা বাড়ির উদ্দেশ্যে যাত্রা করেছিলাম এবং রাত্রে বাড়ি ফিরেছিলাম। আমরা এই যাত্রাটা খুব উপভোগ করেছি।
আজ আর নয়। দয়া করে তোমার পিতা-মাতাকে আমার প্রনাম জানিও এবং তোমার প্রতি আমার ভালোবাসা।)
