Letters of Sri Aurobindo

4. The Mother in the Life of the Ashram

Fragment ID: 19725

It is not because your French is full of mistakes that Mother does not correct it, but because I will not allow her to take more work on herself so far as I can help it. Already she has no time to rest sufficiently at night and most of the night is working at the books and reports and letters that pour on her in masses. Even so she cannot finish in time in the morning. If she has to correct all the letters of the people who have just begun writing in French as well as the others, it means another hour or two of work – she will be able to finish only at 9 in the morning and come down at 10.30. I am therefore trying to stop it.
