Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

December 22, 1936

Your belief is right, Guru! I didn’t feel happy yesterday. However, nothing untoward has happened; almost no pain, but the swelling persists, asked to foment.

Mother suggests hot water 1 part peroxide, 3 parts water and dipping the finger for 15 minutes. Some of these things are cured by that – it ought really to be done immediately, but even now it may be effective.

You wrote about “two sonnets” [16.12.36] of Mallarmé (last two). The other on Edgar Poe? I thought you meant “Les Fleurs”, but it is not a sonnet.

Sonnets was a mistake – I meant the last two poems including the Swan sonnet.
