Indra Sen's Correspondence with The Mother

4 March 1946

V came to the Press and spent his whole day attempting to get the workmen to take up his work. His engaging us in talk was itself a loss of work. I could not help telling him that I did not feel happy about his demands for preferential treatment. In the same way, I told S on the first day he came that he needed your permission to come and on the third or fourth day I said to him very clearly that it was a harmful practice for people to come to the Press, walk about and cause distraction.

Quite good and you did quite well in letting them know that their behaviour is incorrect and unacceptable. Could we not put a notice at the Press which would once and for all discourage such visits?
