Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

What do you say to showing G’s condition to Dr. Manilal?

You may.

With regard to the publication of J’s book, she put my name in the letter she was writing to you. I asked her to strike it out as the reference to me was too short and did not convey my exact idea. She struck it out but said that I was afraid of my name being involved. This is what I got after having done so much!

These are the pin-pricks of life. You must walk warily if you want to avoid them. Beware of dropping pins about – they may prick the dropper. J’s resentment at being plagiarised is a pin of importance.
