You are not to take any letter written to you. It is the collections that were asked for of messages, etc.; as it is found that things unauthorized, inaccurate, not mine, are often included and afterwards they get copied and end by being circulated even outside the Ashram. Also things that are quite private or are not intended to circulate leak out in this way, since some people are unscrupulous in copying (like P who took things he was asked not to take). A control and sifting is necessary, therefore, so that we may know what there is in these collections.
