To Motilal Roy [27]¹

TIME INOPPORTUNE. INTERVIEW NOT POSSIBLE. WHY NOT WRITE?

13 May 1925

¹ In 1922, Motilal’s relationship with Sri Aurobindo soured. In May 1925 Motilal wrote asking for permission to visit Sri Aurobindo in Pondicherry. This telegram of 13 May was Sri Aurobindo’s reply. It is reproduced from a notebook in which A. B. Purani wrote down Sri Aurobindo’s conversations and bits of household news.
