Dear Sister,&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Yesterday Battu himself wrote a letter informing you not to come 
here till you receive his letter. Battu was&amp;nbsp;transferred&amp;nbsp;yester night to 
some other jail. Upto this time we are quite in dark about his 
destination.Anyhow I would earnestly request you not to leave Banaras 
for Lahore. His separation is unbearable for me too.It is only today 
that I feel quite perplexed and every moment has become a burden. Really
 it is very hard to be separated with a friend more dear than my 
brothers. Any how we must bear all patiently . I will request you to 
keep courage. Do&#39;nt &amp;nbsp;to stress. Something good will come out of it all.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Yours &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Bhagat Singh&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;This letter was written to Shmt Promila Devi sister of Sh Bhatukeswar
 Dutt &amp;nbsp;from Central Jail Lahore on his transfer from that jail. It is 
worth noting that the Lahore Consipiracy case was withdran against him 
to weaken the&amp;nbsp;solidarity&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; of Bhagat Singh and B K Dutt . This showed 
the panic the two had created in the minds of British rulers, who always
 feared that they together can create a situation which could shake 
their consipiracy of disposing off the revolutionary key persons.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
