Sri Aurobindo and Mother to Prithwi Singh

24 January 1938

Prithwi Singh,

I have just received your letter about the necklace.⁵⁰

Amal wrote to his grandfather informing him about the sale of the necklace as a very good occasion and asking him to buy it for Lalita.⁵¹ The old man replied that Lalita was never moving out of the Ashram and what then could she do with the necklace unless it was simply to have it for admiring it. So you can see that my name never came into the matter. I would never have allowed them to ask it for me.

If you had no debts to pay off or if I were in a position to clear the debts myself for you I would have gladly accepted the necklace, but as it is it seems to me more reasonable to keep to your original plan of selling it.

Hoping all is well with you and the children.

Our love and blessings are with you.

Mother

P.S. Your furniture has reached safely and is placed in your room.
