Sanjiban's Correspondence with The Mother

6 April 1941

Mother,

I have come to know that X is going to play the harmonium at Y’s place tonight. Will you permit him to sing only one song (for a short time, say 40 to 45 minutes)? I would like you to hear him.

40 to 45 minutes is a very long time for somebody who has a sore throat.

I cannot give my permission as by doing it I would be false to my own view of things.

With my love and blessings

6 April 1941
