000030577	01.01.1931	00001	GANDHI, M. K.	08820	MAN MOHANDAS	2	After going through the book G. suggests 'how to compete with foreign cloth' would be a proper title & gives his opinion about hand spinning handlooms & mill cloth.
000033279	01.01.1931	00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	8	(1) Reference to letter from Dahibehn from Bombay.- Reply enclosed.- Reference to Gandhiji's health: weight 100 lbs.- Reference to spinning.- Kanu to go to Wardha.- Reference to Parnerkar, to Ramnarayan, to Jivandas, to Valibehn, to Premabehn, to Ratilal.

000021619	01.01.1931	00001	GANDHI, M. K.	08017	MAN MOHAN DAS	3	Criticism the book "How to complete with foreign cloth" Title is presumptuous. It contains more authenticate information about Mills but less about handlooms Hand Spinning is the Key to complete boycott of Mill made cloth. No doubt hand spun yarn is not as strong as machine spun yarn, but that is no argument in favour of the latter. We cannot give up hand made bread for machine made biscuits.

000009503	02.01.1931	00001	GANDHI, M. K.	01804	PATEL, Shivabhai G.	2	Good that you admitted everything. you should clarify your aim of celibacy to your wife. Also you should grant her permission to remarry if she so desires. In ease she demands maintenance you should ask her to go to the ashram. The real remedy to meet the attack of passions is faithful. adherence to one's work.
000028128	02.01.1931	00001	GANDHI, M. K.	07830	MAITRI	2	You can give water to Harijans and request other not to give them remnants of good.

000027172	04.01.1931	00001	GANDHI, M. K.	08554	KASHINATH	2	You should not have refused to show your dairy to Narandas. You can of course work even when living outside. Do what is necessary in your brother-in-law's case. etc. etc.

Relishing of the tongue can be overcome by practice. At the stage of perfection one has no questions. Self-examination is good but it should be followed by efforts to remove vices.
000023300	04.01.1931	02612	GANDHI, Narandas	04900	HEMAPRABHA DEVI	2	Complains why she does not write.

If at all I have to write long letters, I have to write about the talk that I have with birds and stars. But it is supposed to be a private thing. Even if you don't send a cutting of your speeches, I know what you speak. It was good that you visited the Ashram.
000033188	11.01.1931	00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09783	RAMA	2	I appreciate your handwritting but, do not write with a pencil. Think of the character of Sita and then you will realize your sense of duty towards your mother.

Truth and non-violence as social standards have the roots in individual behaviours i. e. self purification.

000033000	16.01.1931	00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09734	GANDHI, Prabhudas	6	I have gone through your translation and passed it on to Kakasaheb for correction . Your language and diction is different from mine. I would like to send my translations to you just to see how you would correct them. Some have doubts about the efficacy and usefulness of prayer . It is means to save and protect yourself from evil thoughts,It is no mean achivement. Your efforts in preparing a new spinning wheel should not be of the cost of your health. Building a new spinning wheel should only be for the sake of pleasuer. I saw your opinion about the confusion that a student faces. Any writing like this is bound to appear a little bitter and difficult to follow. But I have done my duty. Even now , you may write to me if you still have any doubts and confusions.
000032999	16.01.1931	00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09734	GANDHI, Prabhudas	4	Don't get impatient. Do whatever you can with easily available resoures. Your claim of trying to invent an entirely different Charka seems untrue. I don't have that capacity. I am doing only some alterations in " Gandeev". "There is some imitation of"Jeevan Chakra." I don't see any necessity of ball-bearings. You can forget about "Takli". Your efforts should be around your Charka. Rambhau must be improving . Take from him whatever work you can. Everybody is governed by three things (1)The impression from the previous birth,(2)The present atmosphere and (3) One's own efforts. It seems you are disillusioned with me. You forget about Chandradutt. We have to be contented with whatever God gives us.
000032655	16.01.1931	00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09189	KUSUM	2	I have written to you about the books. Not to worry about my health. What is Tara's age ? I think you keep the daily diary, no ? It works like watchman for us. What about Chandubhai's hospital ?

000019985	16.01.1931	00001	GANDHI, M. K.	07097	MARTIN, R. V. (Major)	2	I stick to the position. I took at the outset. To me there is no distinction between blood-relations and in mates of Ashram. my list does not contain any political leaders.
000019986	16.01.1931	00001	GANDHI, M. K.	07097	MARTIN, R. V. (Major)	2	Seeking permission to respond to Ramanand Chatterjee's request to contribute to the golden Book to be presented to poet Rabindranath Tagore on his 71st birthday.

000027186	17.01.1931	00001	GANDHI, M. K.	08554	KASHINATH	2	Narandas may not be free from faults but that does not justify your refusing to show him your diary. Shanta cannot be sent to her father-in-law against her wishes and eventhough it may result in her husband taking a second wife. Characters in Mahabharat may have been historical and wars might have been faught but that does not mean that Mahabharat & Gita themeselves are historical books teaching Himsa.
000009318	17.01.1931	00001	GANDHI, M. K.	01789	PANDIT, Vasumati Dhimatram	2	How to remain untouched by honour or dishonour is taught by Gita. Do not think of leaving the work. Teach children manners, deep thinking and cleanliness etc.
000027176	17.01.1931	00001	GANDHI, M. K.	01793	SHANTA	2	Face the ordeal bravely.
000024387	18.01.1931	00001	GANDHI, M. K.	08339	SHAKRIBEN	2	Handwriting not so bad though has room for improvement. Self confidence needful. Keeping oneself engaged would bring tranquility.
000033765	18.01.1931	00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09802	JAMNA	2	I don't remember to have received a letter about Dharamdas and Kalyandas. If you are not well, you may go back to Bombay. Ask Kusum not to be in a hurry to start cereals. One can live the entire life on milk and fruits.
000016901	18.01.1931	00001	GANDHI, M. K.	10124	DESAI, Durga & DESAI, Mahadev	2	Im parting further instructions in connection with her health, pairs out his phitosophy of spinning. The Wheel is hands and feet of God.

000019987	19.01.1931	00001	GANDHI, M. K.	07096	DOYLE, E. E. (Major)	3	It is true that Patwardhan is not permitted to spin and is therefore fasting. I consider the prohibition unthinkable, A, B, class prisoner's are permitted. Requests to appreciate his anxiety (Reply=- In general 'C' class prisoners are not allow to spin this man's case is under consideration)

(2) The importance of handspinning should be emphasized. (3) boycott of foreign cloth- impossible without adequate handspinning which alone can provide feeding to hand-weaving. (4) Talcherkar's argument that machine-spun yarn is weaker than handspun yarn not acceptable. (5) Mills and handlooms are mutually antagonistic. Mills have come stay. They may get help from "Swadeshi" movement. (6) Import of artificial silk deserves to be objected to. (7) We can import raw-cotton from other countries.
