Sri Aurobindo — Officer of the Baroda State
February 14, 1903
To an Officer of the Baroda State1
Baroda.
14th Feb 1903.
My dear Sir,
I shall be very much obliged if you can kindly arrange for the letter to the Residency2 to be seen by His Highness and approved tomorrow, Sunday, so that I may be able to leave Baroda tomorrow night. I am sending the draft to the Naib Dewan Saheb for his perusal and approval. I am obliged to make this request because it will put me in serious difficulties if the arrangements I have made are upset.
Yours sincerely
Aravind. A. Ghose
1 14 February 1903. The “letter to the Residency” mentioned in this note is the one published next in sequence. Sri Aurobindo was anxious to leave Baroda at this time because he had to go to Bengal to settle a quarrel among members of the revolutionary society he and others had founded the year before.
