My dear child,
I have your two letters. I leave [for] Delhi today with Mr. Andrews.
I am glad you are feeling at home there. I am most anxious that you should retain your health and get stronger than you are. The best thing of course is not to worry about anything. Be careful for nothing and to take or prepare the diet that suits you.
Ba77 wrote to me you were looking after her.
I may some time describe the work here.78 It is difficult work but it is useful and people gain by it.
Please do not write for Young India79 at present. I do not want to disturb the Government though there is nothing wrong about your writing on the educational system. For the time being let your life speak to your surroundings.
With love,
Bapu
