Amrita's Correspondence with The Mother

18 March 1933

Mother,

I have paid the tax, but one of the hundred-rupee notes was not accepted because it has been cut in a rather zigzag way. Wherever I have tried to make payment with that note, it has not been accepted. But one of our milkmen, Gopal, is ready to accept it. His bill, till this evening, comes to fifty rupees. He will make up the balance of fifty rupees in another week. What do you say, Mother?

Yes, you can give him. I told you this morning that at the bank also they refuse to take these notes; it is only in Madras that they are bound to take them.
