Dear Student,

Here is the answer:

Pallipurum
Cochin, Kerela
22 August '60

My dear Kamala
I am writing to you because when you left me at the airport I felt something wasn't right. Judging by how little you spoke that day, I understood that you were not feeling good leaving me at that moment. I could sense your pain which was caused by my growing age. You did not say anything to me, but, my child, I could see the pain and sympathy which was there in your eyes. I know that you're worried about me. I know that it brings you immense pain to think of a life without me. I am growing old, day by day. But this must not make you scared. I want to give you all the strength. It is important that you hold yourself when any such thing happens. Do not dwell on these fears. Do not worry for I will be there for you always. You are my strong child. 
See you soon.

With love
Amma


Regards
