2. LETTER TO C. RAJAGOPALACHARI
May 29, 1945
MY DEAR C. R.,
Yours written on the train.
I am overwhelmed with work. Hence the delay, if delay it may
be called.

I agree with you about the existence of the evil. My diffculty is as to the way to deal with it. I want you to depend upon me to do so as soon as I see the way. Nothing will then stop me. Nor am I unvigilant.

I am glad you liked your stay in Mahabaleshwar.
I hope Papa and Narasimhan came to you at once and that you
are doing well.
I am on your latest pamphlet1.
Love.

3. LETTER TO POTTI SRIRAMULU
May 29, 1945
DEAR SRIRAMULU1,

It is more honest to sell your yarn for the required quantity of khadi and take your food from your beggings and devote the rest to the Harijan cause. Let the people know your worth.

Yours,
BAPU

one of the many ways all of which have to be taken.

CHI. JAYA1,
I have your letter.

You may, by all means, marry away Chi. Chandu2. Both seem to be worthy of each other. I cannot, however, welcome this marriage. I feel for that abandoned lady. How will she take it? Manilal is in Bombay.
