8vo. 1 p. On the reverse of a letter addressed to him: "Going to Manselin (about 20) We are soldiers but are all lovers of Indian freedom. | B | I am glad to hear that. For so far you have been instrumental in the suppression of that freedom. What did they do in Jallianwala Bagh? Do you know the meaning? Have you been there? | S | Oh, yes, but those days are past. Those people were water frozen in the well. We have seen the world. Our eyes are opened. | G | I know this. That is how it should be. | S | What would be our future when we fear Indian freedom?" - Somewhat wrinkled and dust-soiled; small pinhead-sized holes on top.

8vo. 1 p. Written on the reverse side of a portion of a 1946 letter written to Gandhi from a young Western follower, George Mammen. Gandhi has penned some closely-written notes - clearly a draft for a letter. He writes, in fountain pen ink: "Our India will have need of you. You have had your training. You will give India the benefit of that training. It would be sad only if after the trials and suffering ["of war" stricken out] that our soldiers have been through, they forget the lessons of their eyes, the moment the peril is lifted. But one thing you should remember, under national Govt, you won't be pampered. You won't have all those lavish remunerations and privileges which a foreign Govt. bribed you with at the expense of India. India is destitute. You can serve her only by showing her destitution and poverty. Otherwise you will earn not the gratitude but the execration of your country. [Now writing at the top of the page:] You will, I know, fully share in this freedom, only to breathe the air of freedom with your countrymen". - Somewhat wrinkled and dust-soiled; small pinhead-sized holes on top.

160 x 205 mm. Gelatin silver print, stamped in purple on verso: ".Kindly Acknowledge to J. C. Patel A.R.P.S., C/o Bombay Photo Store., Calcutta". Framed and glazed. Richard Casey (1890-1976) was made Governor of Bengal by Winston Churchill in January 1944, in the immediate aftermath of the great famine, and against a background of increased nationalist agitation. He "was shocked by British racial snobbery, and he tried to break down walls between Government House in Calcutta and the local community" (Australian DNB), partly through the organisation of a series of face-to-face meetings held between himself and Gandhi in Kolkata (Calcutta) in December 1945, at one of which our photograph was taken. In later life Casey served as Governor-General of Australia from 1965 to 1969. - Provenance: Arthur Hughes, Indian Civil Service, Labour Commissioner and Registrar of Trade Unions, Bengal (mentioned in the King's Birthday Honours list for 1943), and later Senior Master at Doon School; by descent to the second last owner. Arthur Hughes and his brother Jack were present in Calcutta at the time of the meeting with Gandhi. Arthur was working for the Civil Service, as correctly stated, and managed to find a role for his younger brother as he left the Gurkhas, with whom he was serving in Bengal at the time. Jack was assigned as Richard Casey's assistant, which launched his career in the Civil Service and he was awarded an OBE in 1959.

Manuskript / Papierantiquität Signiert
Chiefly 12mo. Altogether 10 pages on 9 ff. Series of nine letters, notes and cards (all in Gujarati), eight to Jamnabehn and one to Yashwant Prasad, comprising two autograph letters signed, three autograph cards signed, and four cards signed in pencil, discussing Gandhi's diet and health, refusing the offer of a blanket ("one that I have is enough"), and expressing his concern about Yashwant Prasad's heart condition: "Don t worry about me. I take all the precautions necessary. God is there to take care of all of us. Before the Almighty we are helpless, worrying causes unnecessary problems [.]" (transl.). Jamnabehn, a member of the extended Gandhi clan, was an active weaver of khadi on the charkha and worked alongside Dadabhai Naroji's grandchildren Perin Ben Captain and Khrushed Behn. Most of these letters date from 1926, when Gandhi was living in self-imposed withdrawal from the public world at Sabarmati and experimenting with a diet of fruit. - Small burn holes to two letters, nicks and tears at edges; browned.
