Superb content, excessively rare A.L.S. "M. K. Gandhi" 2pp. 8vo., Wardha [?]. Oct. 6, 1933, in English to J. S. Barnes with fine religious content, in part: "...I have some very good friends among Roman Catholics and I have read some literature abt the Roman Catholic church beliefs. One book has been written by an R.C. Bishop from the Indian standpoint. A Quaker friend who became a Roman Catholic carried on a fairly long correspondence with me justifying his change. But nothing of what I read had any special attraction for me. Of course there is much in it that I admire & some things I don't understand. On the whole however I have been confined in my belief that one can grow fully in one's own inherited faith. I have in mind only the principal religions of the world. If you have any special literature to recommend to me you will not hesitate to do...". With the original holograph transmittal envelope, in very good condition. $2,500-3,500
