Dyuman's Correspondence with The Mother

5 May 1936

My dear Mother,

G said to me in a cutting tone: "Who sweeps the back of the ladies room in the D.R.? It is so dirty—since the last four days no one has swept there." I kept quiet; but when I went to check I saw that is was as clean as it could be and it is swept every day.

Did you tell her: "I went and saw and it is quite clean. Why do you say that it is dirty? Remember what Mother has said: first sincerity and truthfulness."
