Parichand's Correspondence with The Mother

28 October 1938

Mother,

Today at noon two goats entered into Santal House and mercilessly ate away the tender leaves and shoots of four rose plants. It is a pitiful sight. A month's labour spoilt in a few minutes. We shall henceforward try to keep the doors always shut and ask the inmates to do so. One of the doors has no bolt to lock it from outside. Can we ask Amrita to get it done?

Well, I have repeatedly said that gates must remain closed. You can ask Amrita about the locking arrangement.
