Soon after the delightful greetings and introductions to all the Mandali present, we brought in what Ben and I called "the loving loot." Baba asked me: "What is in the big box?" I said: "A serving cart which folds up—Murshida Ivy Duce sent it." The boys helped me in getting it out of the box. After we set it up, Baba said: "Joseph, you brought it in good condition." I said: "It took quite a bit of maneuvering on the way, Baba."

Beloved Baba again asked, what is that—and that??? and I said, "This is material for Baba's new coat from the Alvarados, and this is vitamins from the Freys—all sent with their love."

We returned the salutation with our heads bowed to our folded hands as He exited from the Hall to His abode.

Then we left Meherazad for Meherabad. By that time darkness prevailed. Dear Donkin, Padri and Sidhu were there to greet us. We found dinner ready soon after our arrival. We were tired and sleepy after such a long, tiresome and exciting journey so we bathed and went right to bed.

Tuesday, Nov. 29th—After breakfast we started out for Meherazad per Baba's order for Meherjee to bring us there by 9 A.M. Meherjee was in charge of our transportation during the entire period of our stay near Baba. When we arrived in Meherazad between the hours of 8:30 and 9 A.M., Baba came to the Hall and called for us. As always, He was concerned about
