পরিশিষ্ট ৪ 54 Parliament Street London, S. W. 16 July 1901 My dear Robi, I was glad to learn that some of our countrymen have been thinking of making arrangements to make Dr. Bose independent of the Government appointment which he holds, so that he may pursue his researches all his life to the credit and honour of our country. The idea is an excellent one, because the chance we have now will probably never return within a generation, if we lose it now. Dr. Bose has read startling papers and disclosed startling discoveries at the Royal Institution & the Royal Society, he has awakened the interest of the civilised and scientific world, and he is on the eve of revealing farther truths which will give our countrymen a position and a name. But to pursue his work to a successful termination against all opposition is a work of years, and during these years we must support him and keep him in his work. The Indian Govt. can't do this and won't do this. They have refused his prayer for extention, and you know as well as I, they will not be sorry to see. him withdrawn from his brilliant labours into the drudgery and obscurity of Calcutta. If ever there was an occasion for us to fight for our fame and honourthis is the occasion | I am sure you will be able to guess, as well as I, S8W)
