[Sri Aurobindo and the Mother]

I’ve marked that at times Mulshankar doesn’t like my interference or “orders”.

That will not [do]. He must accept your orders, as he is there only as your assistant.

Reading Y’s letter, if you have any suggestions to make regarding Mulshankar’s work, please let me know. I am not satisfied with the way we are going on at present.

I don’t know that there is anything to change. Datta and others give very good reports of Mulshankar’s behaviour and attention to them when they go to the Dispensary in your absence. I am not prepared to believe otherwise on the strength of Y’s solitary statement.

A hospital clerk requested me to speak to Dr. R to treat him for his heart-disease. If he is treating cases, shall I ask the clerk to approach him directly?

[Mother:] R is not taking cases just now –

[Sri Aurobindo:] S is complaining of a mysterious illness (fever) in which she gets very cold in the full heat of the day and her skin is cold outside but as hot as chillies inside. Perhaps as she is always complaining of catastrophic physical states like this, she might be shown to André like the other specimens.
