Maya,

I have read your letter, I have written in detail to Dilip about it. So long as you are here Shankar cannot force you to return or do anything against you. If you have the letter in your hands and so long as you do not condone his offence or promise to live or actually live with him as before – which would make the letter useless – he could not force you to return to him even if you were in British India. For the letter is a sufficient ground for your refusal. Everything therefore depends upon your own decision and free choice. But I do not think it is wise to write anything immediately to Shankar – it is better to wait till we have consulted Duraiswami and know precisely what is the exact position you can take with the best chance of his coming to favourable terms with you about your and Esha’s stay here.
