Rabindranath Thakur’s letter to Jibanananda Das dated 12/3/1937. This letter was a reaction to Das’ second poetry book “Dhusar Pandulipi” (Faded Manuscript).
Text in English:
“Kalyaniyeshu, (traditional addressing of a younger person)
Reading your poems have brought me much joy. They are original, they contain aesthetic sentiment and the bliss of observation.
Yours, 12/3/37
Rabindranath Thakur
