Tara's Correspondence with The Mother

20 June 1939

Mon cher petit,

I told you already several times that I do not approve of your going. Do you believe that by insisting you will make me change my mind? I will tell you again and again:

1) I do not approve at all of your going.

2) I do not approve also of your jealousy which is baseless and meaningless and the best thing to do is to overcome it by thinking a little more of your work and a little less of yourself (I told you the same thing already once). I am not of the same opinion as you about the work you are doing, I find it quite useful.

3) I still hope that you will pick up some courage to overcome the present difficulty and to come back to a normal condition in which you can do your work quietly without disturbance.

My love and help are always with you—you have only to remember them and you will easily find them.

Blessings
