Rough incomplete and unrevised Draft on Council Entry with suggestions by Rajagopalachariar.

I was worried about Durga's health. Now I felt relieved. I should have been happier if a girl-baby was born. The girl-baby could resemble Durga. I shall go to Dahod with Bapu, then to Kathiawar from where I shall go to Bulsar on 18th, 19th. The watch sent by you is nice.
