Sri Aurobindo — Nahar, Prithwi Singh

September 4, 1938

Mother,

Regarding library work I am now giving 1.5 to 2 hours in the morning and about 3 to 4 hours during day-time. Parichand has agreed to work one hour with me in the morning from 8:30 to 9:30 and for the rest I am trying to do everything myself Altogether about 2925 books have been arranged, labelled and classified and there would be another 500 volumes or so of English books still left to be done....

At present I am working irregularly from 5 to 6 hours because I am still feeling a little tired physically, but I intend to devote a little more time – 7 hours regularly. Which I pray will have your approval. Only it is not possible to work at night for it may strain the eyes and there is also no proper lighting arrangement in the library.

With deep devotion

Prithwisingh

Approved if you feel the need of it and there is no strain. Otherwise 5 to 6 hours is enough.

Sri Aurobindo
