Dyuman's Correspondence with The Mother

20 July 1934

Mother,

M does not feel inclined to give cow-dung. He asked me: "What will you do with it?"

I said: "I shall mix cow-dung, sawdust and charcoal dust, and prepare balls for fuel."

"From where do you get the charcoal dust?" he asked.

"From S," I replied.

He told me: "I ask and ask him for it, but he does not give it to me. If you give me charcoal dust I will give you cow-dung, as much as you want."

Mother, if You want to give him charcoal dust, certainly it can be given.

The charcoal dust is absolutely indispensable in the balls if you want them to last long and give good heat without having too bad a smell. But S has much more charcoal dust than you can use; in fact there was one time when he was giving or throwing it away. So there will be surely enough charcoal dust for the balls and to give to M also. If you need a word written for S, I shall give it.
