The responsibility is that of the Govt for before congress did
anything and actually when it wanted to negotiate with government the latter

Govt is inflicting pin picks on the patient by improving all
sort of restrictions on visits of even approved visitors. Government says she
is kept with me in her own interest. Let Government play the game in a fair manner. |

Vaidya is permitted to visit her but is not allowed to stay.
This hardly helps as the patient is in a precarious condition. |

Government is callous in not allowing the Vaidya to stay with
the patient. I therefore suggest (1) this may be permitted or (2) She may be
released on parole or (3) I may be relieved of the responsibility of looking
after her by removing me some where else. |

Gandhiji refutes certain statements made by Government regarding
steps taken by them to procure medical aid and shows how late it was
permitted. For this he quotes chapter and verse, gives a history of the
efforts made by him and lays blame on Government Shows how hollow Government
claim is to procure medical aid in time; providing trained nurses etc etc. |

Gandhiji feeling very weak after the attack of malaria.
Particularly, he feels mental weakness which he had not experienced so far.
But even then, God will give him strength if He wants to take some work from
him. Gandhiji may go to Mahabaleshwar or Poona or Bombay (Juhu) or Nandi hill
for taking rest. Place not yet decided. Enquiry about Shankerlal's health. Ref.
to Mridula who is expected to improve her health by staying in Srinagar. Delay in posting the letter. Now, it is sent care of Ramakrishna Mission.
Gandhiji to go to Juhu. You will learn about his health from the medical
bulletins. |

I have gone though your statement. You deserve congratulations
for the celebration of "Rentia Baras" every year. You have been
doing good work. Even though the spinning wheel is quite slow compared to the
machines of the West, we love it. It is the symbol of non-violence. But we
should have complete knowledge of the technique. Just as knowledge without
faith is meaningless, faith without knowledge is blind. |

recover completely by staying here: Kishorelal could see his mistake. I am
happy about it. Nathji ws here between 20th June and 2nd July. We had good
company. Whatever time I get after my routine is over, I spend in writing

Draft of a letter terms of agreement which Gandhiji would
recommend to the congress, Accepting that the country is one nation, parts
having absolute majority of Muslims can decide by voles of adults if they
want to live separately within the state of India; if yes they will be
separated if materially and economically feasible, reserving certain
functions to be discharged jointly by contracting parties. Interests of
minorities should be safeguarded. Both sould work out a plan to end foreign
rule leaving congress free to launch Civil Disobedience movement if the

Individual Civil Disobedience is permissible if the act is not
against Congress creed. So if the whole book 'Satyagraha Prakasha' is to be
printed and distributed it may be done and thereby Government may be opposed.
But to print and distribute only one chapter of the book will only strain the
relations between the two communities and that is not the congress creed. |
