October 9, 1971
Did you send your letter to ... what's his name, in France?
My letter?... You mean to Malraux. Yes, yes, I sent it.
With whom?
Directly, to an address in Paris.
Registered?
No, Mother.
The mail works very poorly these days.... Did you keep a copy?
(Mother goes within
for 25 minutes)
Do you have a question?
You know, I think I've seen Malraux's inner being.
Really!
Yes, just the day before I received his card, at night I saw a
being dressed in golden clothes, all golden, and he was even
wearing a golden turban. And he came to me and offered me
something on a tray.... But the clothes were very important!

And he was quite handsome.... With a turban! [[It was very striking: the clothes were supremely important. Literary clothing, probably. ]]
He intends to come to India. Perhaps he had an Indian life?
(Mother goes back within)
