Your dreams of the future for literary writers are admirable and I share them wholeheartedly. And thank you too for your invitation. It has been years since I have traveled in India. Both my wife and I have many friends there and we will undoubtedly visit in the future. When, and if, that occurs, it would be an honor to join you. Until then, best wishes for great success with your literary club. Warm Regards, William H. Coles Dear Shahzad Firdaus–
