Dyuman's Correspondence with The Mother

18 October 1935

My dear Mother,

In these monsoon rains and winds, the cart goes for food distribution thrice a day. The servants give more service than their due time (9 hours), get drenched three times a day and yet not a murmur from them. I feel a happy relation with them.

Yes, it is very good, The servants may be given a tip after the rain is over. You might give it to them yourself as an encouragement.

Recently K is getting very troubled by what people say about her. Often the idea enters her head: "I am bad, I am unfit", etc.

Yes, I will tell her not to mind what people say. In fact I do not know why she is attaching so much importance to all that—so long as we are pleased with her, it ought to be sufficient.
