“പ്രിയപ്പെട്ട സാറാമ്മേ,
ജീവിതം യൗവനതീക്ഷ്ണവും ഹൃദയ� പ്രേമസുരഭിലവുമായിരിക്കുന്ന � അസുലഭകാലഘട്ടത്തെ എന്‍റ� പ്രി� സുഹൃത്ത്� എങ്ങനെ വിനിയോഗിക്കുന്നു?
ഞാനാണെങ്കില്�...... എന്‍റ� ജീവിതത്തില� നിമിഷങ്ങളോരോന്നു� സാറാമ്മയോടുള്ള പ്രേമത്തില്� കഴിയുകയാണ് . സാറാമ്മയ�? ഗാഢമായ� ചിന്തിച്ച് മധുരോദാരമാ� ഒര� മറുപടിയില്� എന്ന� അനുഗ്രഹിക്കണമെന്ന് അഭ്യര്‍ത്ഥിച്ചുകൊണ്ട� .
സാറാമ്മയുട�
കേശവന്� നായര്�”
