Amal Kiran's Correspondence with The Mother

22 November 1937

Mother,

I have made a draft of the letter for Lord Nuffield, incorporating the information prepared for the Hyderabad people. As we are not sending the “Teaching and the Asram”, some sort of general information is necessary. Please go through the letter and make any modification you think is needed. I should like to know how the letter strikes you.

It is all right.

And will Sri Aurobindo let me know through you how exactly the conclusion should be? What does one say while signing one’s name to a letter addressed to a lord? Also, do you think the phrase “out of your splendid generosity” after the word “please” in the last sentence is quite right or does the sentence go better without it? (Amal’s two-page letter ends: “Will you please, out of your splendid generosity, give a helping hand to this work of Sri Aurobindo.”)

“please” could be omitted but the rest will do.

For the ending of the letter why should you not ask Arjava?⁶
