Amrita's Correspondence with The Mother

25 December 1932

Mother,

You have asked, “When are there cakes in the Asram? I don’t understand.” Mother, Savitri bakes cakes from time to time. Evidently Jayaraj has received them from her each time. He asked You to let him have those Indian cakes, and nothing else.

But, Mother, all that doesn’t matter since I am going to advise him to make some other arrangement for his food. May I tell him that in Your name?

You should not speak harshly to him as if it were an order from me, but simply tell him that if the Asram food does not suit his stomach, it would be better to take food from elsewhere.
