P.S................

Dear & respected friend,

In continuation of my letter of this morning:-

Which prose works and poems of tha present day do you offer as standards? May we take your కథాసరిత్సాగరము as a standarad ? and your dramatic verse for poetry, say Usha?

How far have you deviated from the rules and precedants of the language of the older poets? What is your test of correctness? Do you think it possible, I mean is it a practical measure, to secure a fairly common standard of correctness among prose writers. What is your opinion of the solution of Mr. Veeresalingam Pandits of a prose diction for Telugu? Do his followers follow any intellgible fairly uniform standard? Granting that to scholors accustomed to literary forms, serious writing in the spoken dialect, sounds undignified, does not the popular prose of the present day with Veeresalingam at its head, offend the sense of propriety ? of both the Pandit and the western scholara ?

yours very sincerely,
G. V. APPA RAO.
