(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. (2) Gandhiji discusses ninth Canto of Gita. After dwelling upon the characteristics of yogi in the earlier Canto, importance of 'Bhakti' (devotion) is shown in this Canto.- Omnipresence of God. In essence, the devotee should merge himself in God. |

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. |

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. |

It is immaterial if a thing taken for health is tasteful. But it is taken to satisfy the taste it does matter. 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. |

I am sorry in replying so late to your letters. I was busy trying to get India and Mahatmaji better understood in this country (U.S. A.). I have sent my review of your two books-"How to compete with Foreign Cloth " and 'Indian Cotton Textile Industry'. If it is not possible to publish them in 'young India' because of the ban on it, they may be published elsewhere: I have not received any copies of the second edition of my book "Economics of Khaddar".- Not heard anything from the publishers. My sympathy is with India and the Congress. I am confident that India will win her full freedom. |

It seems post is being received regularly now. Kanta writes about some revenue dues to be paid.- have referred the matter to Mahadev. He says that it has been decided not to make any payment at this juncture: Let us wait. I will have to make a move from here after 15th. When, I don't know. If there is no agreement, there is a possibility of being arrested again. |

You seem to be "greedy". I cannot write lengthy letters from here: You can do so. If at all I have to write long letters, I have to write about the talk that I have with birds and stars.

(1) Gandhiji doing well. More details about health in letter to Mirabehn.- Chandrashankar's handwriting resembles that of Mahadev. Hence Gandhiji might have taken his writing for that of Mahadev.- Reference to Champa. A lady from Canada had sent a pareel of salt (about 2lbs) for me.- Kusum should be treated well for her fever. (2) Gandhiji writes about dietary experiments. (3) Gandhiji discusses the tenth Canto of Gita. Further discussion on the nature of God. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Gandhiji, after going through the draft pages of the book made the following suggestions:- (1) The title of the book should be "How to compete with Foreign cloth." (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. |

What I say that as long as the handlooms are not in a position to use handspun yarn only, they may use mill-spun yarn. "A Charka in every home and a colony of handlooms in every village will be the order of the new dispensation."I have been requested to bring out the book in Gujarati also. It is being translated and the Gujarati edition will also be published in a month's time. I request you to write a few words by way of "Introduction" to the Gujarati edition. I have read your interview for the 'Statesman' on Foreign Cloth Evil." I hope Motilalji is improving. |

It is difficult to give advice to a person who is in a hurry,- already riding on a horseback. However, I can say the following about your Gujarati edition of the book : The book is suitable and welcome at the present time. It is possible to achieve complete boycott of foreign cloth with the help of spinning wheels and Khaddar. The author had made a good endeavour to show this. The book also contains useful statistical information. The book will be helpful to those who want to understand the ethics of boycott. |

I want a person like you to take up the responsibility of administrating the Ashram. In 'my' charakha there are going to be a few alterations. Laxmidas and Keshu have taken up the work. Your Khadi budget is a little enough. If you can raise your own resources (human and monetary both), you may do so. I am sending a similar letter to Chhaganlal who would go through it and then forward it to you after necessary corrections. |

I would like to add one more burden to you. Jamnadas will talk to you about Ratilal. He needs to be attended to very carefully. If necessary, appiont somebody to keep a close watch on him.- No sharp instruments like knife, etc., should remain with him. He may not stay with Champa. He may like to stay in the Ashram. There is the problem of Laxmi also. Read Laxmidas' letter and let me know your opinion. |
