Amal Kiran's Correspondence with The Mother

2 May 1945

Amal,

Received all your letters and also the designs which I am sending back under separate cover.

I am sorry to have to tell you that your proposed corrections make the design much worse than it was before. The unhappy wing seems now grotesquely big and heavy, quite out of proportion with the rest of the bird. I am of the opinion that it is far wiser to let things stand as they are. After all Krishnalal’s design is not so bad as you seem to think, it has its charm and grace. So I have decided not to speak to Krishnalal about it, neither did I show him your sketch. The best would certainly be to drop the matter altogether and have the cover printed as it was originally designed. Hoping that you will not mind my frankness, I send you my love and blessings.
