Sanjiban's Correspondence with The Mother

6 February 1934

O my Mother,

I have tried to improve yesterday’s sketch. Dost Thou find the arm to be all right this time? The feet I could not do well. I shall try to make separate sketches of them.

Yes, the left arm is better but it seems to me that the left shoulder is just a little too broad — it seems somewhat disproportionate to the right one. I mean to say that it looks as if you had drawn the left shoulder side-wise and the right one full front. They must necessarily be both seen from the same angle — like this [sketch from side] or like that [sketch from front].
