Amal Kiran's Correspondence with The Mother

18 September 1945

My dear Amal,

Your letter reached safely with its contents. I must have received also the previous one as well as the annual, but as it came just at the time of “darshan” and the crowd was bigger than it had ever been, I had no chance to answer and give my opinion although the impression was good. Sri Aurobindo also, who kept a copy with him, seems to have been satisfied. I suppose you have been told that we are opening a Press in Pondicherry — the Ashram Press. It is Pillai who was at the head of the Government Press of Hyderabad who is organising it. It means that the work will be first class and we intend to do the printing of all books and magazines concerned with Sri Aurobindo’s works as well as his books and mine.

As for your eyes we fully approve of your trying the Dr. Bates’s method⁸ which have proved quite successful in many cases.

With my love and blessings for yourself and your family.

Will you kindly tell to M that I have received her letters about your mother’s health. Hoping that she is getting better now.
