Wardha, C. P., INDIA,
July 23, 1939
DEAR FRIEND,
Friends have been urging me to write to you for the sake of
humanity. But I have resisted their request, because of the feeling that any
letter from me would be an impertinence. Something tells me that I must not
calculate and that I must make my appeal for whatever it may be worth.
It is quite clear that you are today the one person in the
world who can prevent a war which may reduce humanity to a savage state. Must
you pay that price for an object however worthy it may appear to you to be?
Will you listen to the appeal of one who has deliberately shunned the method of
war not without considerable success? Any way I anticipate your forgiveness, if
I have erred in writing to you.
I remain,
Your sincere friend,
M. K. Gandhi
To
