Parichand's Correspondence with The Mother

6 April 1955

Mother,

The gardener P has been in our service about nine years. This year he has again started absenting himself now and then on some excuse or other. He seldom takes my permission. Each time he is absent like this, I ask him to give his reason in writing and show displeasure and deduct from his pay. But he seems not to care for all these deterrents. Sometimes I am prompted to refer his case to the Labour Office, but then a counter-suggestion comes: "There is a general unrest. So better wait for an opportune moment."

I pray for Your guidance.

All depends on the quality of his work. If he works well, be patient.

If the work he does is unsatisfactory, refer to the Labour Office.

Blessings
