My dear Sadar-i-Riyasat,
I am highly grateful to you for the trust you have reposed
in me by calling me to offer you my aid and advice in the
task of constituting a new Cabinet.
In accepting your kind invitation, I am solely guided by a
sense of duty to my country, and its people and I shall try
to the best of my ability to fulfill the responsibilities
which you propose to entrust to me.
I shall be available for consultation at your convenience.
Yours sincerely,
G. M. Bakshi.
