Champa, Along with this, also read Sister Jeki’s letters. Jeki has sent me the letter, that you had written to her. Sister’s money shall, not be held by you’ll,letter, that you had written to her. Sister’s money shall, not be held by you’ll, frankly that is my firm belief. For my previous letter any response has not been received yet. Bapu’s blessings Written in black ink to a single side of the page. Folded, some tape repairs, loss to one corner. Measures approx; 13.5cm x 9.5cm. Brief Summary From The Vendor: Gandhi writes to Mrs. Champa Mehta (one of the daughter-in-law of his best friend). He is a caring and guiding father figure for her, at the same time he does not hesitate to call a spade a spade and ensures course correction with truthful opinion where required. The matter here seems that, Champa’s sister, Jeki and other sister/s have a monetary dispute with the former and Jeki raises an objection at first writing to her that their cash/money should be returned to them. Champa may have given a negative response to Jeki personally. Jeki seeks Gandhi’s Champa may have given a negative response to Jeki personally. Jeki seeks Gandhi’s intervention and also sends the letter written by Champa to her. Gandhi then writes this letter addressing Champa that she carefully read this letter along with Jeki’s and introspect with a calm mind. Not only that he firmly puts his opinion in the matter that its not ethical to hold back sister’s money, however good or bad the intent be. 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).
