Parichand's Correspondence with The Mother

29 January 1946

Mother,

There are a lot of dry branches on the Service tree in the Ashram. Can I have them removed?

Just now it is not possible because one cannot distinguish between those which are truly dry and those that have lost their leaves.

For beauty's sake do You approve of our painting with green solignum a few dozen stakes that we use for supporting plants? We could get it done by our workmen?

Who says that it will look more beautiful? Not I.

My love and blessings
