At Kain's suggestion they wrote to Baba again, telling him more about themselves. Through Adi, Baba sent this reply:
29 January 1966 Dear Mik Hamilton,
Your loving lines of 23rd were read to beloved Baba in his seclusion.
Baba was happy at the expression of your fine sentiments for him, but he wants you and your wife not to come to him as he is in seclusion. Baba further wishes that you write to me — Adi K. Irani — about your plans and programs in India, how long you wish to prolong your stay and when and how you intend returning to your home. Beloved Baba wishes you both to return home as soon as possible and to remember him with all your heart wherever you are and wherever you go.
Beloved Baba sends his love and blessing to you both, and he says again because of his present deep seclusion, he does not allow his lovers to see him.
Adi sent a copy of his letter to Was Deo Kain the same day, and added:
Baba wants you to let Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton know that he wishes them to return to their home soon and continue to remember him wholeheartedly. Baba further wishes you to impress on them that he definitely does not want them to come either to Ahmednagar or to Poona for his darshan.
These are beloved Baba's directions and if the couple follows them, it will be to their advantage.
Correspondence continued between the Hamiltons and Adi. Mik and Ursula informed Baba they took marijuana, hashish, heroin and other drugs, and he replied that they should stop, which they promised to do from that day onward. They explained that they would like to stay in India, since they had no real home to return to. (They were under the impression that Ursula could not go to America because of a former arrest for selling drugs in Germany.)
Baba replied that they should try to move there anyway. They applied at the embassy and, to their amazement, Ursula was given a visa to enter the United States.
