Amrita's Correspondence with The Mother

23 February 1932

Mother,

Dr. Aroule desires to show his house to someone. He sent his chauffeur yesterday to ascertain whether it would be possible to do it. I replied: “I cannot allow you to take somebody into the house without first taking Mother’s sanction and fixing a time for it.” I promised to give him an answer this morning. He may come himself to receive it.

Ask him why he wants to show his house? The only valid reason is if he wants to sell it — and if he wants to sell we are buyers.
