DEAR SIR,
You may remember that I have written to you from London where I stopped
temporarily. As your devoted follower I send you herewith a brief booklet which
I have written. I have translated my own writings from Gujarati (my own
language). What is remarkable is that my original book was confiscated by the
Government of India. Therefore I was in a hurry to publish this translation. I am
afraid I am burdening you; but if your health permits and you have time to go
through my booklet, then I need not express how greatly I shall value your
criticism of it. I am sending also a few copies of your A Letter to a Hindu which
you allowed me to publish. This letter will also be translated into an Indian
dialect.
Yours respectfully,
M. K. GANDHI
