Jagannath Vedalankar's Correspondence with The Mother

18 March 1948

Gracious Mother,

This afternoon during working hours an act of theft was reported to have been committed by a compositor. He was seen passing out some types and a composing stick through the bars of a high ventilator in the latrines to someone standing on the street side. Some other workmen also saw him commit this act.

But the man does not confess to it.

What should be done in this case?

He must be put strictly under observation, and if caught red-handed he will be sent away at once.

My love and blessings
