J. Walsh). The issue is not available here. However a typescript of the same is kept in the Rabindra-Bhavana archives (Visva-Bharati University, Santiniketan) under the call no. T928 F3 TT. An edited version of the conversation was reprinted in Asia March 1937 (pp. 151–152), one similar to the version given in Sangit-Chinta.
