Amal Kiran's Correspondence with The Mother

2 April 1940

Mother,

Of late the idea has been occurring to me that I should make a book of some of my poems and have it printed in Bombay. But my own resources are extremely limited. I want to persuade my grandfather to help me with at least part of the money needed. I don’t know whether I will succeed in persuading him nor whether my book will sell. Will you and Sri Aurobindo bless my venture so that there may be no difficulty anywhere? I shall be happy to have a line in your writing.

That is all right.

Our love and blessings
