(Satprem had written Mother a rather cross letter because she

 had been told some malicious gossip about him, just as she had

been told - to what end we do not know - that his friend, the

 Marquis B., was a "spy." Satprem understood nothing of those

 jealousies and was surprised that Mother could even listen to

 such tattle. In fact, Mother did not actually "listen" but worked

 on all the elements that came to her. That was her "sordid battle

field," as she called it. Those sad incidents are only the sign that

 the atmosphere around Mother was becoming ... strange.)

Satprem, my dear child,

I do not believe what Udar tells me, nor what anyone whosoever tells me. The Lord has given me the power to see things as they are; and I do not judge.

Our relationship is of such a nature that it cannot be altered by such childishness.

So till tomorrow, in peace and joy, so that the last clouds may disperse.

With all my tenderness and my blessings.

Signed: Mother
