Sanjiban's Correspondence with The Mother

24 May 1934

O my Mother,

I am sending the sketch. Shall I leave it as it is or try to improve it? If it is to be improved I would like to have Thy suggestions.

The sketch has very much improved, but, I think, you can do something more; it is for the hair. So-called black hair is never black. Look at it attentively and you will see that in the shadows there are deep browns, deep blues and purples. The lights are pale blue if the hair is very black and reddish brown if the hair is less black.

Try to arrange that and you will see that it will improve the picture very much.

I want to ask you to make a drawing for the back corners of a sari. Z will show you the model of the design.

I would like also a few pink and white lotuses to stick on envelopes.
