Amrita's Correspondence with The Mother

5 December 1932

Mother,

It seems Kodandaraman is right about the deduction of two days’ wages from Muthu’s salary. He told me that You have sanctioned two days’ leave without pay because Muthu gave a false excuse for his two days’ absence.

You can tell Muthu that I am once again giving my consent not to deduct the two days’ wages, but that I am very unhappy with his bad habit of always telling lies and that he must learn to speak the truth; otherwise I will become unpardoning.
