Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) - Letters / Notes - two brief hand written notes from Gandhi, written in Guajarati, whilst he was observing silence. The first note reads; At present, I am writing by observing Silence. Don’t you worry, I will Take care of everything. Bapu The second note reads: That has to be thought about later. At present let’s see what happens with Ratilal. Both written in black ink to a single sides of the small sections of paper. Folded, some later holes punched. Unrelated writing in another unknown hand to rear of both. Largest measures approx; 10cm x 14cm. Provenance: Gandhi had handed these notes to Mrs. Champa R Mehta, who was staying at the Ashram in the 1930s, and the responses from Gandhi pertain to what she told him. After hearing her out, these were the responses he gave her in writing. Handed down through family, to the vendor. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist and political ethicist who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India's independence from British Rule, and in turn inspire movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi's birthday, 2 October, is commemorated in India as Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday, and worldwide as the International Day of Nonviolence. Gandhi is commonly, though not formally, considered the Father of the Nation in India, and was commonly called Bapu (Father). Provenance - from the collection of Dr Balvantrai N. Kanuga, Gandhi's personal long-term physician and friend.
