Sri Aurobindo — Nirodbaran Talukdar

July 9, 1937

S’s pain is now setting into a definite character: acme going down before food and then complete relief by food; then after 2 or 3 hours it resumes. These are, I fear, more ulcer pains, but X-ray revealed no ulcer...

Before food? that seems queer. I don’t see how it can be ulcers, if nothing was shown. More likely nerves.

My boil seems to have subsided, but the blessed legs are aching terribly: can’t walk after my athletic exercises at this old age, Sir. System won’t bear it, it seems. Give some embrocation, please.

You have been doing Olympic sports? What an idea!
