Durgadas,
I have received your letter of the 26th.
It is not necessary to make any arrangements for the interest – we shall be able 
to manage. What is more important is the way of sending. On no
account must you cut the papers in half. It was publicly proclaimed by the
Government some years ago – I do not know how it is that so many people are
still ignorant of it – that they would not be responsible for cut notes. We have
had much difficulty with cut bank notes, and Government paper cut like this will
not at all be recognised and accepted. I must ask you therefore to make some
other secure arrangement for sending the papers.
You have written nothing about yourself and how you are
getting on. I hope you will let us know in a future letter.
Sri Aurobindo
