LETTER TO MISS ELIZABETH KNUDSEN, JANUARY 21, 1928
Satyagraha Ashram,
Sabarmati,
January 31. 1928
Dear Miss Knudsen,
I have your letter. I am conducting no hydropathic establishment. I give Kuhne`s baths to some people in the Ashram and that is all. If you can come at all, come to the Ashram. You will be welcome guest and you will teach massage to some of the sisters here as also men. You will of course have to pay nothing for your boarding and lodging, and you will stay as long as you like. Life here is very simple, perhaps even harder, but I know that that matters little to you.
Yours sincerely,
Miss Elizabeth Knudsen

LETTER TO ELISABETH KNUDSEN, APRIL 22, 1928
The Ashram,
Sabarmati,
April 22, 1928
Dear Miss Knudsen,
I was wondering why I have not heard from you for such a long time. I am glad you have been having such success in Karachi. Owing to the National Week I suspended both the oil massage and your massage, and owing to pressure of work since, I have not been able to resume them. But in spite of the suspension I 8increased nearly two lb. in weight. As soon as the pressure decreases I hope to recommence massage.
Gangabehn is neither better nor worse. For the last two days she has been having some fever. The Calcutta patient left about ten days ago. Mr. Kothari is in Darjeeling at the present moment.
Yours sincerely,
Miss Elisabeth Knudsen

LETTER TO MISS ELIZABETH KNUDSEN, OCTOBER 12, 1928
Satyagraha Ashram, Sabarmati,
October 12, 1928
Dear Miss Knudsen,
I was delighted to receive your letter after such a long time.
I endorse your rebuke about roses. You are not aware evidently of the tremendous movement that is going on in India at the present moment for the uplift of women.
I hope you are doing and keeping well.
Yours sincerely,
Miss E. Knudsen
