Sri Aurobindo — Roy, Dilip Kumar

I should like to know exactly what Maya wrote from Madras. If she can reproduce it as nearly as possible. He wires as if she had agreed or promised to go back and not stay here. As I wrote it is important that she should do nothing which would imply that she had condoned his offence – for then her legal position (on the strength of the compromising letter) becomes weak or nil – there is only his possible fear of a scandal left. I do not think there is any hurry about wiring. I am keeping the telegram as all that is written, wired, etc. on either side is of importance and must be carefully recorded. We must be cool and careful in all we do.

One thing more. What was the position Maya took when she left – that she was going definitely and would not return? If so, did she make it clear to Shankar? If not, what exactly did she convey to him. It is important to know that.

P.S. I saw Maya’s letter after writing this. It had better wait till I have the above information and can decide what should or should not be written.
