Letter, June 25, 1920

Bombay,

June 25, 1920

My dear child,

I have not been regular in writing to you as I had intended to. I have been too busy with the Khilafat question. I did however ask Mahadev to write to you on my behalf. You must also be receiving Young India regularly.

I had expected to hear from you from on board. But as yet there is nothing from you. I wrote to you a letter111 to reach you on your steamer and another112 to London care of Thomas Cook. I do hope you received both these letters.

I am now fixed up for the time being in Bombay. I enclose herewith the letters to the Viceroy.113 They will give you an idea of my activity. Devdas is with me.

I am anxious to hear about your meeting with your father and your health. Of course I expect to hear from you regularly.

With love,

Yours,

Bapu
