Yeravda Central Prison
DEAR GURUDEV,
This is early morning 3 o'clock of Tuesday. I enter the fiery gate
at noon. If you can bless the effort, I want it. You have been to
me a true friend because you have been a candid friend often speaking
your thoughts aloud. I had looked forward to a firm opinion from you
one way or the other. But you have refused to criticise. Though it
can now only be during my fast, I will yet prize your criticism, if
your heart condemns my action. I am not too proud to make an open
confession to my blunder, whatever the cost of the confession, if
I find myself in error. If your heart approves of the action I want
your blessing. It will sustain me. I hope I have made myself clear.
My love
M. K. GANDHI

Just as I was handing this to the Superintendent, I got your loving and magnificent wire. It will sustain me in the midst of the storm I am about to enter. I am sending you a wire.
Thank you.
M.K.G.
