DEAR FRIEND,
Just now I have received your letter and your book, Indian Home Rule.
I have read your book with great interest, because I think the question
you have therein dealt with is important not only for Indians, but
for the whole of Mankind.
I cannot find your first letter, but by discovering your biography
by Doke, I happen to know you through that biography which gripped
me and it gave a chance to know and understand you better.
I am not very well at present. So I am unable to write to you on all
the questions which are inter¬connected with your book and also
with your activities in general, which I value much. But I shall write
to you as soon as I recover.
