Dyuman's Correspondence with The Mother

31 August 1934

My dear Mother,

At D's kitchen I saw the potatoes and told her: "These cannot be used for Mother." When they are going to rot, they become soft, and she calls them flowery potatoes. I explained to her the whole thing.

If it is a question of the uncleanliness of the market, I wash and rinse the vegetables required for You in water mixed with a few drops of vinegar.

You are quite right and the market vegetables are far superior to what she gives us, especially the brinjals which seem to be made of straw.
