Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

July 1, 1936

S is much better, feels happy. I forgot to write that jaundice usually takes 2-3 weeks.

So I understood, even a month.

N.P. is dying more of fear, and thinking if he does this or that the pain may come back!

That is why these things continue with him.

What about my private book or J’s letters? Can’t you send them?

Not as yet. Could not make up arrears.

Today X seemed quite sane. So you see. Sir, after all it is your help that pulled her up.

Of course as soon as you wrote I put the shower-bath on her.

[About J’s novel:] If you say that she’d better follow what Y says, she is willing to do so. Her Jury has toned down and she feels that after all there was nothing much to get upset about. The book belongs to the Mother.

Well, that is something.

I feel that Y would mind again if J did everything herself – and she won’t be able to do it well. After all, Y has spent so much for the book, and he is determined to see that it brings a good sale...

You are quite right. Since Y has done everything about this book till now, it is better to let him finish. In future she can keep clear of any obligation to him, but here it will only create confusion and more trouble.

Another point – Y doesn’t want J to send a copy of the book to Niren, for fear of criticism...

That is a point I cannot resolve.
