Amrita's Correspondence with The Mother

2 December 1932

Mother,

Kodandaraman comes to me and gives lengthy reports about the servants — his reason being that if You ask me about them, then I should be aware of what is going on. I told him that he need not take this precious precaution and not to speak to me at all about his affairs.

It would have been better not to say this, as his information can be useful.

Am I to strictly forbid any servant from asking me to make any kind of representation to You concerning him or her?

Certainly not.

Will you permit me to show to Kodandaraman what I have written above about him?

I do not see any necessity for your showing.
