Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

November 13, 1935

Again about the novel-tangle. X told J in your name – “All she did with regard to her novel was because of egoism and her love of vital drama.” J was very much upset by hearing it said in your name.

That is what you might call applied mathematics. I made a general statement which could cover the whole animal and human creation up to Mussolini and the Negus and avoided all mention of the novel. I added that since he had received an amende honorable, the matter might be dropped and peace declared.

J says X might write all about it.

I hope not!
