Parichand's Correspondence with The Mother

19 May 1950

Mother,

The palm trees along Your windows are very dirty. Syringing them from below does not clean them properly. Will You permit me to syringe them from the roofs? The gardeners will supply me with water by ladder and I will carry the cans up to the top. Morning-time will be suitable. I pray for Your sanction.

I do not find it advisable with the present scarcity of water.

Moreover there is a risk of the water coming in the rooms through the windows. Let things stand as they are until the rain comes.

Love and blessings
