Sanjiban's Correspondence with The Mother

15 October 1933

O my Mother,

I am sending another landscape for Thy suggestions as to how to paint it. It is a night scene, so will not the sky and the water portions be of pale blue?

Surely not pale blue, but deep, dark blue as it is on a moonless night.

What are the white effects in the sky? Are they some fireworks? What should be their colour?

The fireworks must be of pale bright colours, golden, orange, and red chiefly. The reflections in the water must be of the same colours as the fireworks but a little fainter.
