What’s this “cellular bolshevism”, Sir?

Bolshevism of the cells rising up against the Tsar (yourself). Also the Bolsheviks carry on their propaganda by creating Communistic “cells” everywhere, in the army, industries etc., etc. You don’t seem to be very up in contemporary history.

Guru, there is a whole mass of letters from dear C.

His Bengali handwriting is too much for me.

There is a tangled problem which is absolutely beyond me.

I have read his letter, but can’t make head or tail out of his problem. He will have to solve it himself.

There is a clash between ethics or spirituality and worldliness, so he seeks your advice.

Anyhow he seems to me to be the most loose and impractical and disorderly fellow that ever was, leaving his papers and debts and everything fluttering about all over the world. It will be no wonder if he loses all he has.
