To Hemendra Prasad Ghose¹

[19 April 1907]

Dear Hemendra Babu,

Will you kindly meet me and let us talk over the matter a little? It is a great pity that the work should be spoiled by friction and misunderstanding, and I think if we can talk things over, it ought not to be impossible to have an understanding by which they can be avoided.

Yours sincerely

Aurobindo Ghose

¹ 19 April 1907. Hemendra Prasad Ghose (1876–1962) was one of the principal writers for the Bande Mataram. Sri Aurobindo wrote this note to him at a moment when there was much internal conflict in the office of the newspaper. Hemendra Prasad copied the note out in his diary, from which it is reproduced.
