Letter, May 14, 1936

[Mrs. Menon moved to Kodaikanal, a hill station, with her two daughters as they could not bear the hot climate in Tanjore.]

My dear child,

May God give you full strength to live up to your motto, ‘It is no easy matter to count always loss as gain, in joy as well as pain.’ I know anyway that your life is not in vain. Of course you are right in not coming to me. You will come, when God wills it.

I hope Tangai is quite well again. Kisses to the children. See if they would write to me. Here is a little note for them.

Don’t coax them to write.

Love.

Bapu
