Gautam Chawalla's Correspondence with The Mother

10 January 1963

Sweet Mother, the two gardeners at the Industrial Garden do not wish to work there from this Saturday, because they are not satisfied with Rs. 1.00 a day. They say that the work is more and the pay is less. Secondly, many workers in the Paper Factory have got an increment — this the gardeners know and so they expect the same. They are good gardeners and they work well.

I pray to Mother for the decision.

P.S. It is difficult to get anyone to work for Rs. 1.00 per day nowadays.

You can give them 1.25 a day.
