Amrita's Correspondence with The Mother

30 October 1934

Mother,

When milking began at 4.30 a.m., our policy was to fine the milkmen who came late. Now and then some of them would come late by five, ten or twenty minutes and this caused a lot of inconvenience to us. The fine levied up to now was three paise for every five minutes late. Now, as the milking starts at 5.00 a.m., Rama Reddy and I propose to you to increase the fine to one anna for every five minutes after 5.00 a.m.

Better speak to the milkmen first, explain to them the situation and threaten with the one anna fine before actually giving it.
