Dear U Aye Win,
At last I am sitting down to write you a short letter in praise of Ma-ya magazine. Only recently, with the publication of the small book of poems by Kabya Saya Tin Moe, have I learnt about your Hundred Moons (La-min-taya)publishing project. I welcome it most warmly and say 'Tha-du,Tha-du, Tha-du.' It is an excellent idea of yours to make the work of some of Burma's leading writers available to the many, many Burmese now living far away from their motherland.



Two aspects of your publications are especially worthy of praise. They are printed on fine paper, well set out and beautifully illustrated. And the selection of items ranges widely from earlier authors such as Theik-pan Maung Wa right through to younger writers today such as Nu Nu Yiy(Inwa), Gyu and Nyi Pu Lay. At the same time I was glad to read the work of some of the most important writers of the post-1945 years, especially Saya Mya Than Tint, Dagon Ta-ya and Ludu Daw Amar.
I began my studies of Burmese literature in 1954. One of the the first things I read was Theikpan Maung Wa's "Oxford Dairy". Another early writer I am very fond of is P. Monin, it is amusing to read in his autobiography why he decided not to become a Catholic priest. In fact I have translated the whole of this work into English.
I hope you will continue with publishing Ma-ya and that you will be able to continue to include an even wider range of authors in the future.
I wish you every success

ဒီတခါေတာ့ မာယာအေၾကာင္း နဲနဲ ေျပာခ်င္ပါတယ္။
ဒီေန႔ ျပည္ပမွာ ထုတ္ေနၾကတဲ့ စာနယ္ဇင္းေတြထဲမွာ မာယာလိုစာေစာင္မ်ိဳး တေစာင္မွ မ႐ွိေသးဘူးလို႔ထင္ပါတယ္။ ျပည္တြင္းမွာေရာ ျပည္ပမွာပါ လိုအပ္ေနတဲ့ စာေစာင္မ်ိဳး ျဖစ္ပါတယ္။
စာဖတ္သူတဦး အေနနဲ႔ က်ေနာ္ျမင္တာေျပာရရင္-
မာယာမွာ ေခါင္းႀကီးပိုင္း (သို႔) အယ္ဒီတာ့အာေဘာ္ စတာေတြမပါတာ သတိထားမိတယ္။ ဒါကိုက မာယာရဲ႔ မူထင္ပါရဲ႔။ အဆင့္႐ွိတဲ့ စာေပေတြ ေ႐ြးၿပီးတင္ျပေနရာမွာ ဘာမွ သိပ္မေျပာပဲေနတာလဲ မဆိုးပါဘူး။
ဒီစာေစာင္ထဲ ဦးတင္ေအာင္ကို အထူးဂုဏ္ျပဳထားတာ ေတြ႔ရတဲ့အတြက္ ဝမ္းလဲသာ ေက်းဇူးလဲတင္မိပါတယ္။
စစ္အုပ္စုရဲ႔ ရက္ရက္စက္စက္ ဖိႏွိပ္မႈေၾကာင့္ စာေပေလာကမွာ ဗံုမဟုတ္ ပတ္မဟုတ္လူေတြ နဲ႔ ေမာ္ဒန္သမားေတြ တြင္က်ယ္ေနပါတယ္။ ဒီအေျခအေနကို က်ေနာ္တို႔ ေျပာင္းျပန္ ျပန္လွန္ဖို႔ လိုပါတယ္။
မာယာမွာလဲ ဒီရည္႐ြယ္ခ်က္ ႐ွိမယ္လို႔ ထင္ပါတယ္။

ကိုေအး၀င္းခင္ဗ်ာ၊
မာယာစာေစာင္ ရ႐ွိပါသည္။ ဖတ္လို႔ အရသာ ႐ွိပါသည္။ ကိုတင္ေအာင္အေၾကာင္း စာမူေတြ ဖတ္ရေတာ့ ၀မ္းနည္းလြမ္းဆြပ္ ရပါသည္။
ဆက္လက္ထုတ္ပါခင္ဗ်ား။
