Sri Aurobindo — Patel, Govindbhai

January 15, 1934

January 15, 1934

[Mahatma Gandhi wrote to me that he had not yet received any answer from Sri Aurobindo. This was his second letter enquiring about the answer to his long letter to Sri Aurobindo. When I informed Sri Aurobindo of this enquiry, he sent me the following reply: ]

I wrote to him a short letter explaining the nature of my retirement and regretting that I could not break my rule so long as the reason for it existed. It was addressed to Bangalore, I believe, and ought to have reached him, unless it has been pocketed by the C. I. D. I suppose even if he had left Bangalore it could have been forwarded to him. You can write and inform him of the fact.
