GANDHI MAHATMA: (1869-1948) Indian Political and spiritual leader during the Indian Independence mov
‘He as you know is a brave boy.
He was smiling all the time though the pain was great’
GANDHI MAHATMA: (1869-1948) Indian Political and spiritual leader during the Indian Independence movement. A.L.S., yours ever, Old Friend, and also signed from M K Gandhi at the head of the first page, two pages (separate leaves), 8vo, Ahmedabad (Gujarat, India), 3rd June n.y., to 'My dear Friend'. Gandhi states that there is little to report and continues 'I had two cases of scorpion bites, one in the Astra (?) and the other from without. In the Astra one it was Ramashankar who was the victim. He as you know is a brave boy. He was smiling all the time though the pain was great. I treated both the cases with mud bandages & in both there was considerable relief. So you will come as an eye doctor. Well we shall need you for that & much more', concluding 'I have to get ready for a meeting, so goodbye and much love from us all'. The nib of Gandhi's pen frequently needed replenishing whilst writing the present letter, making some words bolder than others, although the complete text remains legible. Some light creasing, a couple of very small, minor pin rust stains to the upper left corner of each page and one small, light stain to the second page, not affecting the text or signature. About VG
In Hindu religion an Astra is a supernatural weapon invoked by mantras to summon the energy of a specific deity.
