Dyuman's Correspondence with The Mother

21 October 1936

My dear Mother,

L goes to Aroumé and wipes vessels in the morning. She told me: "I shall not be able to go in the evening because my body is not well." The need for her was in the evening, but that she has now refused. Here is one more person whom we are "making ill by heavy work". Those are her words; that is why I have accepted her terms. I know that after some time she will ask for work.

Do not give it.

Then I shall send her to You.

Yes, they seem to be all like that. They ask for work, insist on having it and if anything goes wrong with their body they accuse us of killing them with work!
