How did Shama facilitate the interaction between Sai Baba and Damu Anna regarding the business proposal?

Shama, also known as Madhavrao, was the key intermediary in this incident. He was the one who received Damu Anna's letter and brought it to Sai Baba in the Masjid. Before even reading it, Shama engaged in a dialogue with Baba, who had already divined the letter's intent. According to Chapter 25, Shama then read the letter aloud, after which Baba gave his definitive counsel. Furthermore, the source material suggests it was Madhavrao who hinted in the reply that Damu Anna should visit Shirdi in person, a suggestion that prompted Damu Anna's subsequent journey to see Baba directly and resolve the matter.
