Rabindranath came to Shahzadpur in 1890. Shahzadpur was situared in Isarshahi or Yusuphshahi pargana of Pabna District. From there he wrote a letter to his wife, Mrinalini. This was the first letter written by him to Mrinalini. He wrote that sometimes he missed his son and daughter. He asked his wife to offer two sweets to Beli (nick name of Bela) to remember him and show his picture to Khoka (son) so that he didnot forget him. One pleader and a teacher of Pilot High School came to him. They agreed to enlist his book in the book list of the school and wanted to purchase 25 copies of Rajarshi. They invited him to act as president in the meeting of Sunity Sancharini , an organisation of the school students. On 20 January 1890, he visited the school and wrote a few lines in the visitors book of the school.
Rabindranath also informed his wife that he went to the then magistrate, an Englishman, to invite him to come to his place for dinner. On his arrival, the Englishman had declared a closure of the court to show respect to the Zamindar. In a letter written to Indira Devi, Rabindranath described how he went to the Magistrate riding a palanquin with a 'Pagri' on his head. On receiving the invitation, the Magistrate asked to change the date. The date was changed accordingly.
