Amal Kiran's Correspondence with The Mother

19 November 1946

Mother darling,

It is very kind of you to send me a telegram of love and blessings for my birthday. The usual Money Order left yesterday. We are very happy to offer the sum.

Mama’s pain went soon after I had dispatched the wire to you. An X-ray photo was taken and the result shows that though there is evidence of some consolidation and callus formation; there is also evidence of slight absorption of the bone at the fracture. We all shall be very thankful if you will make the callus strong and hard and prevent absorption. We are extremely grateful for all the kindness you have shown and the help you have given.

I have been puzzled by the utter lack of reply from you to so many letters of mine. You did not even let me know anything when I wrote about SD. Eventually he could not leave Bombay because he had been empanelled on a jury and his application for being exempted was not granted. But you gave no answer at all. I am sure you must be having some reason for no answer here as well as for taking no notice of my two or three other letters. Have I asked you something which you did not like and which annoyed you?

No other reason than an absolute lack of time has prevented me from answering you in writing. But I have noted all the points and did my best to give you satisfaction. As yet I do not know when I shall be able to answer at leisure; this is why I scribble these few words on your own letter to assure you that I am not forgetting you nor your mother and M and that my love and blessings are with you all. A wire has been sent to you yesterday for the “darshan”. The M.O. has reached today. Hoping that your mother will recover soon.

Blessings
