"I have just now received your presentation of slippers as an offering for Vyasa pujaday. They are certainly very attractive. Thank you very much for them and offer my thanks and blessings to all the nice boys and girls there in Boston.
There is a story about one man, a cook, who bought a nice new pair of shoes. But all morning long he was in the kitchen cooking and so he couldn't wear his shoes.Similarly, all afternoon he was cooking. So what did he do? At night,when he went to sleep he wore the shoes.
So these shoes are so nice,but I don't know when I shall be able to wear them. So when taking rest at night I shall wear them.
Srila Prabhupada
