000032608		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09189	KUSUM	1	I can't write more today. Maintain your health. No letter about Padma. If she comes there directly and behaves well, I don't have any objection. You know better
000032632		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09189	KUSUM	1	Your letter. What you write about house is true. But it was better thay you went to the hoste. Taking due care of your health, you may do as much work as possible. Don't worry about me. I am sorry my writing has pained you.
000027627		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	10470	PAREKH, Devchand U.	1	This enclosed if from you. We may tell him we will not call you often.
000032629		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09189	KUSUM	2	It appears you got a little confused even though I had told you to act as you wish. Prabhavati feels exhausted after the tiresome journey. I shall take you with me during the next journey to see how far you can withstand the strain. I hope Sulochana is doing well.
000032171		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09205	MITHUBEHN	2	Women workers who join the work would give the following undertaking and follow the code of coduct. Dedicating oneself for one year in the cause of prohibition; to keep one's cool even in the face of oppositon of abuses, to do any social service entrusted by the Mukhi, to obey his orders, to maintain a dairy of the work doen and maintain account of the expenses, to wear Khadi, to propagate Khadi, would ask for leave only in case of unavoidable occasions.
000033459		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	5	Reference to morning prayer, to Mirabehn, to Kasturba, to Narahari. Narahari can be said to be an expert in the field of education. Children should be allowed to sleep between 8.30 p.m. and 4.30 a.m. Two hours rest in the afternoon. Teachers should get enough time for preparation. Kuvalayanandji's opinion re: physical exercises should be accepted in toto.
000033207		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	4	I may reach there by 9th or 10th. I shall try to cut short my stay in Bombay. I thought Jamnadas had also jioned the institution and taken vows. Now, he clarifies that he had not joined the institution but would like to observe the vows without being a "member." It seems that he is carried away by Harilal. The vow of not taking more than five things in a day is a difficult one. More about it when we meet next.
000032613		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09189	KUSUM	1	More attention to be paid to cleanliness in the apartments where women-residents live. Construction of two more bathrooms should prove more helpful. Satisfactory arrangement for supply of water should be done.
000033129		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09188	ASHRAM SISTERS	1	Your have to bear in mind whatever you are told by Kakasaheb. Yesterday, it was a day of paying homage to Shradhanandji. Pandit Malaviya is here: He asked all of us to go to banks of Ganga, we took bath and had "Darshan" of Kashi Vishwanath. The river-ghat is beautiful. Mahadev will write to you about it in detail. There was a German lady with us. I had doubts whether she would be given entrance in the Vishwanath Temple. But, as she is a Buddhist and hence as a Hindu, the priests had no objection. The lanes around the temple are very dirty.
00033129A		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09188	ASHRAM SISTERS	1	Today we are in Bettiah. It is a town where I had stayed in the year 1916 on account of Champaran Satyagraha. so many legends are told about the place. I am told that strength of your class is increasing. You are to cultivate devotion which can bring you other things. Sacrifice for the sake of service is a little easier. I am sorry I shall be away from the Ashram for a longer time, as I have to travel far and wide for Khadi-work. But there is no other go.
0032585/9		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09188	ASHRAM SISTERS	2	We are at Patna today where Rajendrababu's Vidyapith is situated. Annual function of the Vidyapith is to be held. Students and teachers from all corners are pouring in. Women here are placed in a very helpless condition. some of them would like to go to your Ashram. I fell they should be accommodated.
0032585/8		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09188	ASHRAM SISTERS	1	I am at Bettiah todya. It is the place where I had stayed for sometime in connection with Satyagraha at Champaran. So many legends about Ramam and Sita are told in relation to this place. Women devoted to social sevice should get trained at the Ashram. Example of mother and child. I may not stay for long at the Ashram this year for I shall be required to move from place to place for Khadi-work.
000033864		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	2	Kasturba, Ramdas and I are going to Rangoon. We are hope to be back at Santiniketan by the end of this month. There seems to be misunderstanding on the part of Harilal. He parted from us at Calcutta. Give him books and clothes, whatever he wants. The lost key has been traced.
000032637		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09189	KUSUM	1	Don't give up service to society even if you leave the Ashram. Let God help you.
000033646		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	1	Inform if Rameshwaribehn's programme is fixed up. Inform the date, time and the train by which she should reach Rajkot and for how many days.
000028559		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	10483	QURESHI GULAM RASUL	1	I am keen to meet both to you. Hope you are well.
000032349		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09255	GHOSAL, (Mr.)	12	Some of the Kathana cultivators saw me today morning. They brought with them a batch of Chothai notices which I was surprised to see. In this regard, I have sent a telegram to you and also to the Secretariat at Bombay. About your opinion about Vadhtal, I have to point out the fallacious calculations of annawari where both Kharif and Rabi crops are taken. Rabi crops in this district are like an oasis in a big desert. Rabi crops in this district account for 1/12 in the year 1914-15 and 1/20 in 1915-16. Certain varieties of agricultural produce e.g. spices, vegetables, variates, cannot be taken into account as they are grown by very few cultivators. Similarly cotton. I had requested you to allow me to accompany you during your visit to Vadhtal. For then, I could explain to you in person on the spot. Your decision is mainly based on Mamlatdar's figures. Your annawari of tuvar, kodra, rice, bavto, tobacco, etc. is too high. By my calculations, the annawari is less than 6. In Vadthal it has been 2 %. Annawari of Kharif crops arrived at by M/s Gokuldas Parekh and Patel and also by Mr. Deodhar and party was under 4 annas. My investigations for nearly 350 villages are corroborated by two other independent investigators. My investigation embraces all the talukas and covers a large number of villages in each taluka. I have no hesitation in asking for full suspension in respect of all but a few of them. In some of the villages, the first installment has been collected. In some others, where half suspension had been ordered, in certain cases both the installments have been collected under pressure: In caser where the first installment has been collected, suspension orders for the second installment may be issued. This is to be done not only on the ground of failure of crops but also on the ground that this district has very hard hit by the epidemic of plague. Your argument that the grains fetched high prices this year cannot be accepted. Even if full suspension is not granted, at least half the suspension can be granted. In that case, I shall try utmost to persuade people to pay the first installment in not already paid. The question of Daskroi villages remains. The flood did irreparable damage to their crops and they are entiltled to full relief. Those cultivators from over there who took Rabi crops should also be given the benefit of relief. It is true that the Kaira district has been naturally rich and prosperous. But the recent studies show that the district is going down the ladder in point of prosperity.(Ref. to the Mhowra Act). At least this year, the cutting of Mhowra trees should be suspended on humanitarian grounds, because, this year has been a scarcity year. This letter may be passed to the Government for consideration with favourable recommendation, if possible.In his forwarding remarks, Mr. Ghosal, Collector of Kaira, writes as follows : - Wheat crop : Less than 3 annas. Mustard : very good crop, whether irrigated or unirrigated. In the good tract it is 12 annas. In the inferior tract it is 6 annas. Gram: Crop annawari valuation at 8 annas in good tracts and 6 annas in inferior tracts. Full collection of land revenue may cause hardship in individual cases only. It is true even in the case of Vadthal. The cultivators have their holdings in both the tracts. Suspension has been asked for on the ground of high wages, high prices, and prevalence of plague also. But this also cannot be accepted. About the fruit trees (Tamarind, Mhowra, Rayan, Mango) : These trees bring enormous profit to the people. Mr. Gandhi's argument is that if Rabi crop is not good, then Kharif annawari should also be reduced accordingly, which cannot be accepted. As far as Nadiad taluka villages are concerned, there has been an inadvertent mistake in anna valuation on the basis of which half suspension had been ordered. The whole misunderstanding has arisen perhaps because of the 'distorted' idea of what the true anna valuation is.
000032296		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09246	VYAS, Labhshankar	1	In reply to Labhshankar's letter, Gandhiji wishes well for all the girls, that they earn a good name.
000033580		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	1	Even though you have to share a great burden, it is for your welfare: You have enough courage, patience and all will be well. God has given you an opportunity to fulfil all your duties- service to your parents, etc. It was suspected that Devdas had mild paralysis. Now, he is well. He may go to Simla alongwith Kasturba.
000033571		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	1	Reference to Harilal. Now, it seems he is beyong correction. Reference to Leelavati. See if she can be paid from the school accounts.
000033561		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	2	If you can report to me on Bali-Kumi affair, I shall be able to arrive at some decision. Baroda Girl's school was found to be good. Even then, can't build any opinion through one day's visit. Reference to Ramniklal, to Vasumati. Did Chorwad weather have any salutary effect on Purushottam ? Jamna benefitted by it. Vijaya seems to have recovered fully. Matthew to reach shortly.
000033325		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	2	I learnt that you have become a little unhappy. I hope it is a temporary feeling. About Santok and Radha, take whatever decision you think fit. I have written to Chhaganlal also. You should write to me if you have really any grievances, but do not grow unhappy.
000033211		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	1	I have received the reports of all the branches that you have sent. If the books of accounts are not clear, we may have to repent later. I have writtenm to Shivji also. Please report as to how many work at their cost, how many on reduced salaries and how many work as per market-rates. How many Charakhas are working ? What was Jamnadas suffering from ? Regards to Khushalbhai and Devbhabhi.

000033212		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	1	I have received all your letters. There was nothing special to be written. Hence I did not write. Moreover, I don't have time also. I shall reach the Ashram on Sept.5, and shall leave again on 9th. Meet me during those days.
000032954		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09203	GANDHI, Prabhudas & BALKRISHNA	1	I won't do if both of you fall ill. Be carefree and get well soon. If I don't go to England, I shall come there immediately. Mahadevbhai will also come. I don't know about Saraladevi. I hope to reach there on 22nd or 23rd.
000033602		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	1	I have written to you about Kanu. Enclosed is a letter from Padma.
000033635		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	3	I have learnt about Chimanlal. There is no question of misunderstanding your writing. Reference to Kamlabai- Any good work can be taken from her:- teaching, spinning, etc. Reference to Kamu. Vijaya wants Kanu to go to Chorwad. Reference to Kishorlal's speech.
000033265		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	1	Gandhiji wants to know why did Shankarbhai go away. With whom does Shanta stay ? How is Kusum ?
000032228		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09220	MACMILLAN CO.	4	Agreement letter to be signed by Gandhiji, selling the copy right for the publication of the autobiography to the Macmillan Co. New York. Royalty to be paid at the rate of 10%, then 12.5 % and later at 15 %. The agreement could be received after two years of first publication. Rights of translation of the book into other languages to remain with the author. The author could take out a cheap edition, the sale of which would be restricted to India only.
000033634		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	1	About Kanu, the question is of need, more than qualification. hence recommendation to pay Rs. 30/-. who else pays Rs. 10/- more ? Kusum seems to be observing vow of silence with me.
000034047		10441	GANDHI, Manilal & 2 others	10442	GANDHI, Kasturba (Mrs.) & Manu	1	An appeal by war Resisters' International, signed by Jt. Hon. Treasurers, Chairman, and Secretary for assistance, help and cooperation. The motto : "I have offered my life for the people of the world. God has accepted it, and I am glad." These were the words spoken by a fellow-member of the association before he was hanged. The association wants to make people conscious of the horrors of any future war.
000033215		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	2	Not much can be done about Khadi here: Tell Jamnalalji when he comes there: Do there as much as you can. About milk, we can correct the mistakes in figures.-(Enquiry about Purushottam's health and reference to Kanu.)
000033213		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	1	Maganlal's fast is being observed well. No difficullty.- About Amreli affair, Ramdas has come here: If you also can come here, You should be able to guide.
0032585/5		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09188	ASHRAM SISTERS	2	I am writing this a little late in the day. Staying in a tent on the banks of Brahmaputra. It is a fine tent, decorated with Khadi cloth. But such tents don't last long, become useless during rainy season. Lot of dampness and moisture in the air.
000033205		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	2	I learnt from your letter that you will not be able to go over here for the present because, your father does not permit you. It is a good thing that you obey the instructions of your father. If you want to do some good work by being there, you will have to develop your character in such a way as to impress others. For that, you have to resort to the teachings of Gita other books containing main preachings. Gandhiji advises Narandas to go through the writings on Satyagraha in "Swarajya."
000033816		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09812	GANDHI, Jamnadas K.	2	Your letter after a long time. Your betrothal must have taken place by now. Be firm in doing your duty. Let your life be meaningful. My health is improving. Simple dress, food, etc. Kellenbach is with me. It may take three months more here: My regards to Khushalbhai and Devbhabhi. Remember me to sister Raliyat and Gangabhabhi. Eager to see them all.
000027611		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	10470	PAREKH, Devchand U.	1	I shall await Dewan's reply.
000033232		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	1	I am getting your letters. I have sent back the three Madrasis and the two Bengalis. They have been repenting for their mistakes. If they show the same signs there at Ashram also and if you feel they would be helpful, you may retain them. It is left to you and I don't want to interfere in the matter. How is Purushottam ? what about 'Geeta' ? Cannot Keshu do it ? Ultimately, You have to depend upon Premabehn. Enclosed herwith a letter for Jamni which has come here through mistake.
000033233		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	2	If Reginald asks for a name, let him be given the name of 'Angad'. You can pay Krishnadas to the tune of 1000/-. If Janmakutir has no luggage inside, we need not put a watchman there: Let Giriraj stay where he is for sometime. About the funds, that which were received during the tour, should go to Prantik Samiti. The rest may be kept in the Ashram. YOU may consult Mahadev and Vallabhbhai. Let Bhansali be entrusted the work as a watchman at night. We have given Rs. 25,000/- for the Mazoor Mahajan School from the Birla fund.

000033230		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	1	It is very difficult to choose. You may admit only such women whom you can protect from such things. In that regard, control of passions is very much needed. Brajkrishna and Krishnadas have come here:
000033228		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	2	That people is also a problem. But only those who are helpful may be retained in the Ashram. Others may be asked to go. It is good that you too take food at the common kitchen. I liked it. However, you should take care of your health. Diseases are folowing us here also. Associates suffering from mild attack of small-pox. With the going of Purushottam who takes care of the prayer-meetings ? You also know. Keshu is there: Can't depend much on Prabhudas.
000033234		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	2	About those youths, I have purposely not given any letter of recommendation. If you think fit, only then you can retain them in the Ashram. It is left to you in toto.
000033873		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	1	I had preserved your letter to write a reply to it. In your free time, you should try to understand the nature of the struggle here and explain it to others. When you cultivate identity with a thing, Youare sure to get it. Satyagraha is also one such thing with which you should cultivate identity.
000033235		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	1	I get your letters. Please find out some work for Ranchhodbhai, may be, it is teaching a class. Punjabhai may sleep outside in the present climate. He can be free from mosquitoes.
032585/11		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09188	ASHRAM SISTERS	3	Your letter. I am happy to note that you are doing Khadi-work regularly. Good regular work is a good food for the soul. Today, we are in Sholapur, a big city where five mills are situated. The biggest mill is that of Morarjee Gokaldas. His grandson Shantikumar is a great soul, A great lover of Khadi. He has other qualities as well - Humanity, Liberty, Devotion to God. I suggested to his wife yesterday at the dinner time that she should also devote herself to social service. I also quoted your example of having been devoted to social service.
000033922		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09812	GANDHI, Jamnadas K.	2	You have given enough expression to your grievances. I had not expected that youwould complain about such things I would give you advice re: service to society. But I would not say anything which would give you any pain.

32577/132		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09130	RUDRANATH	1	You don't seem to have followed the life-story of Lenin and others. They put in a lot of efforts in the early part of their life. Only then, they could od something. I can offer the youth only implements like spade, sickle and other things. But unfortunately you are not prepared to pick up any of those implements. Even if you know the use of "Takli", you would not have written such a letter as you have done.
32577/122		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09126	JAGAT NARAINLAL (Pt.)	1	Lord Krishna was servant of servants. For him, no work was high or low. To follow his footsteps is to worship him.
000033520		04979	PRABHAVATI	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	4	Writing this on behalf of Bapu. He himself does not find time. Mirabehn left for England on 20th inst. by steamer. - will be back here after three months. Dr. Sharma had come to see Gandhiji. Gandhiji has advised Ramdas to go to Tithal. It is for him to decide. Purushottam also may accompany him. Gandhiji went to see Amtussalaam- Reference to Amina, to Jamna, to Chandrakanta. (Gandhiji has added a postscript.)
0032585/2		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09188	ASHRAM SISTERS	3	It is 6.50 a.m. mow. It is time for prayer. Don't forget prayer. Prayer is to soul what bath is to body. Two American ladies (mother and daughter) came to see me. The daughter is a teacher in a school in U.S. A. She wants to study our system here: You may take a lesson from the life of Mirabehn. Woman is said to be idol of sacrifice. If the woman does to the society what she does to the family, there is nothing comparable to that.
000027618		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	10470	PAREKH, Devchand U.	1	I cannot do anything more Await developments.
0032585/7		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09188	ASHRAM SISTERS	3	Received letter written by Ch. Radha yesterday. I am glad that you are all taking great interest in the morning prayer. Remember the words of Kakasaheb. At the suggestion of Malaviyaji, I went to the banks of Ganga for a bath. But the 'ghats' here are unclean. We went to the Vishwanath temple of "Darshan". Germanbehn could get entry. The streets of Benares (Kashi) are also dirty.
0032585/6		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09188	ASHRAM SISTERS	2	I have not yet received your weekly letter. Staying in the new houses built for Khadi Pratisthan. Lot of Khadi-work being done here: I could collect a fund of Rs. 3500/- here: Mithubehn, Jamnabehn and Pernibehn have been able to do lot of Khadi-sale. Don't forget that spinning can be compared to a "Yagna" - You have a right to eat only when you do some good work.
032585/10		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09188	ASHRAM SISTERS	2	Your letter in Manibehn's hand has been received. The women who want to come there should be accommodated well. You might know that Ch. Sushila, elder sister of Ch. Tara, is betrothed to Ch. Manilal. The marriage would be solemnised on 6th March at Akola. Ch. Manilal remained a bachelor till the age of 32. Now he has shown inclination for marriage. The matrimonial alliance is with a family of devotees. One who is not able to passions should get married. One who can control one's passions should try to achieve salvation in this life itself.
000033555		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	2	Reference to Kale's grinder. Advantages and disadvantages of the said grinder.

I have received Harilal's letter. I think he has come to know his mistake and it seems he is in a repenting mood. Ramdas could not adjust himself to the weather conditions at Bolpur because of extreme heat. I have started observing two new vows- (1) not to eat anything after sunset, (2) not to take more than five things a day. - Reference to Revashankarbhai.

0032585/4		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09188	ASHRAM SISTERS	4	It is a good thing that you have 'appointed' Gangabehn as your 'Chief'. "Cheif" means the first servant. In the olden days, king also used to be the first servant of the society. No selfishness was there in his laws and orders. Now, Kings (rulers) have become selfish. Hence the trouble. The "Charakha" teaches us the lesson of selfless service. Take a lesson from Mirabehn's life. Mithubehn, Jamnabehn, Perinbehn have come from Bombay for Khadi-work. Dakshabehn went to Bardoli and Germanbehn went to Kashi yesterday.
000033208		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	4	You can rest assured that even if there is only one 'satyagrahi', victory will be his. We have already won several battles. I have read your views about the weavers in your letter to Maganlal. About Phoenix, you may not hold the same views that you express now, if you happen to see it from near. About Mr. Quinn's about me, I think it is an exaggeration.
000033229		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	1	There is no limit to your responsibilities. Enclosed is a letter from Shri Apte. I remember there was some correspendence with Sahni. She has asked for freedom. I don't see any resk in taking up the responsibility.

000033429		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	3	Let Jamna try "Methi" for sometime. The entire family of Mahavir should go out of Ashram. That is what I feel.

He, his wife and children may be given shelter in the Ashram. He will be useful in teaching Sanskrit and Marathi. Discuss the matter of giving shelter in the Ashram to him with other members. I had given shelter to such persons in the Phoenix Farm. Think about it and let me know your opinion. Parasram should be told in clear terms- It will be difficult to send Kusum to Almora- Responsibility cannnot be thrown on Prabhudas.- She can go to Deolali or Matheran. Reference to Laxmi, Laxmidas, Rajaji and Devdas.- Some of the boys engaged in farming write to say that they are weary of the work.

000033586		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	2	How could you trust Harilal's words ? Earlier, you too had said 'no' to him for journey fare: I can't pay him a single paise from the public funds. Why do you want to call Kanu there against his will ? If at all, he may come there after March or so. If Jamnadas is ill, then how will he be able to take up the responsibility ? Enquiry about Chimanlal's activities and expenses.
000033588		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	1	I think now the situation has cleared. Do not lose courage. Now you should come and express yourself more courageousely. You can get the presence of menlike Rajendre Prasad, Satish Babu, Kakasaheb and others. Kakasaheb : learned, straight forward, clean. - has lot of respect for you.

0032585/3		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09188	ASHRAM SISTERS	3	As I have been moving from place to place, there is some delay in writing to you. From Patna, we went Sonpur, to the north of Ganga. I liked the soft sand on the banks of Ganga here: Halting at Rajendrababu's place. Rajbansidevi, Chandramukhi and Vidyavati are here: My advice to rural women regarding not wearing of ornaments and cleanliness has worked.
000033896		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	1	I could not see your letter at Bombay. Needful may be done in the case of Soman. Reference to Gangabehn, to Bhagavanji. Hot weather everywhere:

I would be happy if you select the bride from outside the caste (Modh) barriers. Do not do it with a view to getting a 'servant' for you. Purushottam's wish shuld be the main factor.
000033787		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09802	JAMNA	2	As I have been writing to Purushottam, there was no question of writing to you separately. Your asthma should go with routine treatment. Patience and faith required. I am thinking about Kusum.

000033764		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09802	JAMNA	1	Why did you fall ill again ? Was not medicine from Punjabi vaidya suitable ? Youmust have gone to Rajkot and must have recovered. The confidence that Purushottam expresses in his letter deserves blessings from all of us.
000033790		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09802	JAMNA	2	If something goes wrong, a woman can point it out to her husband ; even a king can be warned. The girls should be taught how to be in their limits. The elderly women should guide them in the matter.

000033119		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09752	JAMUNA	1	Gandhiji writes to exphasize the importance of maintaining of acount of daily expenses. Nothing belongs to us and hence, we have to spend money or make use of it very wisely and keep an honest account of it. He also exphasizes economy in expenditure:

Dr. Talwalkar's letter: Kusum to continue under his treatment Changes introduced by you are good. Prema should control her tongue. Parachure Shastri: Take as much work as he can give- Recitaiton of Gita: good pronunciations. That itself would be a great thing.

I have written to Chhaganlal. In view of that if you can stay on, well and good. But do whatever your conscience tell you to do. My blessings are with you. Purushottam is with me. If he stays with me of his own will, I shall be happy.
000033799		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09802	JAMNA	1	Received your letter. If you cannot stay at Ranavav during rainy season, then you can stay at the Ashram. I hope some day the weather conditions and at water at the Ashram will suit you. Ask purushottam to write about conditioins in Ranavav.

How about chhaganlal, his activities etc? I shall go to Bombay on 23rd May and shall be back in the Ashram on 28th. I shall be happy if I can see both of you then. Kasturba remembers you both quite often.
000033093		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09743	GANDHI, Kashi Chhaganlal	2	I keep on worrying about your health. You should ask for whatever things you needs without hesitation. Do something about Nimus's health. Try to know her habits. Try to know more about women in mates and see that their stay becomes comfortable.
000033094		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09743	GANDHI, Kashi Chhaganlal	2	It is natural you would feel sorry over the death of Vanamali. But you have to cultivate courage. If we know that death is natural, then we will not feel sorry over the death of anybody. We should treat sorrow and happiness equally.

Let us be inspired by those sentiments Chhaganlal is here and is working of Indian opiniion. I would want Santok's pronunciations also should become as good as yours by the time I come there next time. Prabhu must be attending school regularly. It is your duty to send him to school with cleanliness.
000033080		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09743	GANDHI, Kashi Chhaganlal	2	Gandhiji gives detailed instructions as to how to treat the guests, what type of food is to be served to them, cleanliness to be maintained, children to be kept clean, etc, etc. As the Ashram is meant for austere life, the guests at Ashram should also feel that a fitting welcome is being given to them.
000033085		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09743	GANDHI, Kashi Chhaganlal	1	Your letter. If you also feel like going to Madhavpur, you may do so. At Allahabad, it must be pretty hot now. Krishna must be with you. It will take some time before you regain your lost strength. Take boiled things. Take a few almonds also.

000033134		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09762	KRISHNADAS	2	I did not know earlier that you would be repuired to stay there for a year. If you think of staying there for a year, do so. How about your expenses? what arrangement have you made ? how is Chhotelal and how long will he stay there ?How is Sharadeben? How about the common-kitchen ? commit Gita to heart. It will go a long way in gaining mental calm. Chhaganlal will not be able to stay away from me. Narandas has liked his decision. Kashi also wanted it. (Letter imcomplete.)
000033072		08991	GANDHI, Kasturba (Mrs.)	09743	GANDHI, Kashi Chhaganlal	2	Glad to read your letter. Worried about Hemi who is geting fever. Prabhudas has gone to Delhi. Marriage will take place after his return. Prabha has gone to Benares; Laxmi to Madras because of Rajaji's insistence. Bapuji keeping good health-takes milk and fruits. You must have received Jamnalalji's letter. (Reference to Numu, Kanu, Ramdas, Manu, Anandi, Nirmala and others.) Vinobaji visits us daily stay two miles away.
000033125		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09754	BUDHABHAI	2	Parvati has a serious complaint against you. It appears you beat her and used abusive terms against her. If it is true, then, it is a serious matter. If you treat her as your wife, You have no right to beat her or use abusive terms. Or, when you want to treat her as your sister, then how can you indulge in such violence against her? Even if you did fasting as repentence, you do not attach much importance to it.
000033098		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09747	GANDHI, Kashi & Santokben	5	I have a little leisure today and hence I am writing to you. There is a feeling that young children become unhappy when their parents are not with them. But in your case, things were much different. Radha, Rukhi, Keshu and others were not at all unhappy after your train left. We have to correctly understand the position that children feel happy in the company of anyone who showers love on them.
000033107		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09748	GANDHI, KHUSHALBHAI JIVANLAL	2	With due regard to my words, you decided to send Jamnadas to me. Jamnadas also has proved his merits at the time of being arrested and also afterwards in the jail. All your four sons are such that they will bring credit and glory to our family, our caste and our country. I see in Jamnadas (Your youngest son) all the best elements - can be compared to a gem. Narandas will, I think, meet all your requirements. Similarly, about your daughters-in-law-Kashi and Santok. They have come up to my expectations. Shri Kalabhai also has expressed his desire to send his sons to me, emulating your example.
000033103		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09748	GANDHI, KHUSHALBHAI JIVANLAL	2	I wanted to write to you after I returned from Poona. But before I could write to you, I got your letter. Narandas will definitely stand to gain by joining me. The four brothers have acquitted themselves well. I hope Jamnadas will also fulfil the expectations. Narandas has left an impression of a wise person. The nation will be able to see what the four brothers can do.
000033104		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09748	GANDHI, KHUSHALBHAI JIVANLAL	5	You have every right to write to me on any matter without hesitation. If you don't write, then who will? Regarding the inmates of the Ashram, from the class of "untouchables", many of them were tHerewith me at the Kocharab Ashram also. In the Ashram, people belonging to any class or caste have been staying together and taking their meals in the commoon kitchen. We should try to know what real "Dharma" is.
000033106		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09748	GANDHI, KHUSHALBHAI JIVANLAL	2	Summary as per No. SN-33103.
000033110		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09749	GANDHI, Harilal	1	I feel that you are wasting your time your time after French. Instead, if you had followed studies in Sanskrut, it would have been highly beneficial, for it would open up all the gates of Hindi language. The atmosphere in which you move at present is also corrupt. But even then, do as per your wish. This my advice may be treated as that of a close friend.
000033112		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09749	GANDHI, Harilal	1	You know a bit of arithmetic and have knowledge of alphabet. There is nothing to be ashamed of. It is the influence of Indian tradition that the children have the common sense, even if they do not have Scholastic education. I am not going to interfere in your matters as long as you are on the right path, even though I do not subscribe to all your ideas. Sorabji and Shelat are here:
000033111		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09749	GANDHI, Harilal	2	I learnt through Mr. Medh that you have failed in the (Matriculation) examination. You should have personally written to me about it. Write to me in which of the subjects you have failed. I am planning to return after 6 months. At present, I am at Phoenix Farm. I do not want to go out. We are conducting a school Herewith 30 students. Jekibehn, Maganbhai patel, Miss West and I do teaching work. the students and I remain busy from 4-45 a.m., learning different things during the day.

I have decided to stay here for a year. the decision that you have taken about you is not correct. I would like to take more work from you. I want you to reconsider your decision.
000033882		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	1	You would look after the guests etc. who would be coming. But let them not follow me. Mr. Malik is an engineer. He would come to the Ashram to find out sources of water. Introduce him to Parnerkar. How is Purushottam ?
000033871		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	2	I have not felt that Maganlal has passed on his burden to Chhaganlal Joshi. Maganlal seems to be a bit tired. I don't feel sorry for Maganlal's having given up the work. At present he is engaged in winning himself. using the envelopes of Khadi paper.- not very artistically made.
000033254		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	1	What now ? But you have enough strength. Let all others be arrested. You must have received my yesterday's Bunch (of papers). The other bunch with next letter.
000033879		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	09804	GANDHI, Narandas	2	I wanted to agree to your suggestion about Santok. She has not liked the Ashram life. The common kitchen, Khadi, etc. I have to take a decision; I will do it by 18th. If youcan come on 18th, it will be well and good. You should go by the feelings of Chhaganlal and not by his mistakes.
000025959		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	10437	MODI, Ramniklal M. & TARABEN	2	Build up your bodies. I can show how to do it but everybody has special characteristics. So think for your self and act.

He can continue to take it as long as he is not convinced of the importance of vegetarian food. Shankerlal asked not to leave Bombya as long as he does not recover completely. To collect information about labourers. To explain to the people the points involved in Kheda Satyagraha.
000032685		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	14053	BANKER, Shankerlal G.	1	On the occasion of the death of Shankerlal's mother, Gandhiji says that it is quite natural that some day a mother has to leave this world leaving her children behind. One need not feel sorry for it for long. Gandhiji to go to Allahabad via Bombay on 6th; - to arrange for railway reservation for the same.
000032706		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	14053	BANKER, Shankerlal G.	1	There would be a long struggle on this issue of Hindi. Let God give you enough strength to give good training to the labourers.

Gandhiji had faith not only in the goodness of the British alone; he had faith in the goodness of man as such. Every man had an element of 'truth' in him. If he betrays the trust placed in him, ultimately it is he who will suffer the consequences.
000032569		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	14219	PARAMANAND KUNVARJI	1	Gandhiji writes to Paramanand on the occasion of his father's death not to feel the sorrow. His father had entered a wider world. Personally Gandhiji himself would not feel the sorrow at all.
000032565		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	14219	PARAMANAND KUNVARJI	1	In reply to Paramanandbhai's letter, he says that a friend can only make a request, but can't issue an order. He would send the book on 'Art and Religion' after Naraharibhai's arrival. As Paramanandbhai himself was well-read in sociology, he should certainly understand the importance of Khadi on his own.
000032563		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	14219	PARAMANAND KUNVARJI	1	Gandhiji says that Paramanand and his friends can come and stay at the Ashram. He says that it would be more convenient for them if they can bring a bowl, a tumbler and their bedding with them.
000032571		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	14219	PARAMANAND KUNVARJI	2	In reply to Paramanand's letter, Gandhiji says that what he had pointed out is only a difference of words. Even if those words afre used, Gandhiji's arguments would remain the same. Ultimately, what he wants and what should want is that man should become self-controlled.
000032695		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	14053	BANKER, Shankerlal G.	1	Enclosed is an application to be placed before the Trustees.

000032694		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	14053	BANKER, Shankerlal G.	1	I have been the cause of your uneasiness. How can I bring back your mental peace ? I should not have interfered in your matters. You should take care of your health.
000032713		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	14053	BANKER, Shankerlal G.	1	I am taking enough care of my health. Doctors' advice is also taken into consideration.

000032691		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	14053	BANKER, Shankerlal G.	1	The orphanage is in need of Rs.10000/-. Please see if an amount of Rs. 10000/- can be lent to them. They are ready to agree to our terms and conditions. Gandhiji asks Shankerlal to reply by wire if he deems fit. Gandhiji would be in Darjeeling from Wednesday to Friday.
000032701		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	14053	BANKER, Shankerlal G.	1	I have done whatever I could even without going there: Champaran Committee has been working ceaselessly. Its term is 3 months. I want your fullest cooperation and help. (Gandhiji would be in Bettiah from Friday to Monday. First comes Motihari and then Bettiah. - 30 miles distance between the two)
000032698		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	14053	BANKER, Shankerlal G.	1	It is good thing that I have left you behind. Please be patient even with those who oppose you. In the conflict between truth and untruth, we can put an end to the conflict in two ways (1) You compromise truth with untruth, which is not desirable (2) Keep on moving on the path of truth against all odds. - Odds will slowly subside like bubbles on water.
000032711		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	14053	BANKER, Shankerlal G.	1	The committee-work would be over in 2-3 days. May come to Ahmedabad for a short while. Ref. to the movement that was being carried on. It may happen that thousands may have to enter the prison and we may not achieve anything. This I am saying in order to avoid disppointment and dispair in the future course of action. (Ref. to Indulal)
000032712		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	14053	BANKER, Shankerlal G.	1	I am much impressed by your patriotic feelings. Let God give you enough strength. A copy of the letter sent to Jahangir Patel is enclosed. Let the resolution be passed in the same form. There would be a good response in Prayag and Bankipura.
000032693		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	14053	BANKER, Shankerlal G.	1	Gandhiji learnt through Anasuyabehn that Shankerlal had fallen ill. He says that a freedom fighter cannot afford to fall ill. Gandhiji's advice to Shankerlal to come and stay in the Ashram.
000032700		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	14053	BANKER, Shankerlal G.	2	Gandhiji wants that the two committees should be appointed (1) one to assess the damage done to property and (2) the other to inquire into part played by the police and the military. Shri Sahayogi to be coopted. (Ref. to Prof. Geddied' speech, to Chhotani Miyan, and to Anasuyabehn)
000032686		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	14053	BANKER, Shankerlal G.	2	Your letter does you credit. Why should it be torn off ? You have stated that my followers have given you pain. If you are not my follower who else is ? I do not claim to have any followers. I have only comrades, or co-workers. One who considers himself to be great, thinks of having followers, Give up your nervousness. Only that can make me happy.
000032692		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	14053	BANKER, Shankerlal G.	2	Congress Working Committee did not meet as scheduled. Shankerlal can do good work in Rajasthan. e.g. Ajmer, Jaipur and other places.

032579/12		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	13156	RUSTOMJEE, Parsee	2	I have not believed that one should observe celibacy towards his wife to build up one's character. But it is a necessary thing for one who wants to devote himself completely to service. It is necessary to observe truth and non-violence to build up one's character. Self realization is or should be man's only goal. I find perfect peace when I observe silence. That gives me more scope for introspection and helps in controlling anger.

The weather here is good, but water is not upto the mark. It is good that you have gone to Abu, may be for a short period.

Taking for granted that there is some fault with him then, it should be brought to his notice so that he can correct himself. All men are likely to err. Did you and Shankerlal meet Vallabhbhai in person ? You should ask from him whatever you want to get from him. Or else, if you want me to write to him, I may do so. Not much can be expected from the mill-owners at present. The labourers should build their own houses. But it would take time.

000032983		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	01535	GANDHI, Prabhudas	5	It was not correct on your part to have written directly to Nanabhai. Kakasaheb could do it. Now, discuss with Kakasaheb whatever things you have written to me, seek his advice and do accordingly. Now that you have decided to marry, they you should do it at an early date. For that, you should find out a good match. No such match should be sought from among Ashram inmates. You and Padma hid all the while your feelings for each other. Now she will not be able to find a match for you. You may talk to Devdas. You can go and stay at Kosamba and complete the course in bee-keeping. The said course is of six weeks. But you can finish even in 15 days. About Sarojanidevi, it is not required to meet her.

But your letters are helpful to me in knowing your feelings. I learn that you have gone to Lonavla. Don't do anything in haste. Kishorelal and Nathji feel that Prof. Gune is of adventurous spirit. I don't feel so. How about your food, the company you get and the work you do daily ?
000006085		00001	GANDHI, M. K.	01305	GANDHI, Chhaganlal K.	1	You should not take Manilal from the English desk. It is necessary to give him regular training. Mr. West is right regarding this point.
