Parichand's Correspondence with The Mother

19 October 1938

Mother,

While X was taking rest after his mid-day meal, he saw two paid gardeners, N and M, proceeding towards the broken branch of the sandal tree. M first tried to break a piece out of it but failed. Then N began cutting the branch with his knife when X caught him red-handed. On cross-examining these gardeners and also R, X came to know that R and N had tried to cut bits in the morning also. What do You advise us to do?

A good scolding from Amrita and a warning that if they begin doing again such things, they will be dismissed.
