Autograph letter, in Gujarati, one page, 4.5 x 8, no date. Letter to an unidentified recipient. In full (translated): “I hope to receive it in a day or two. Quite a few are in Ahmedead. You want the small ones only, saffron coloured like the ones that sister wore yesterday? Be quiet and don’t fight.” In very good condition, with uniform toning, some light spots of discoloration, small end split along central horizontal fold and small piece missing from lower left corner, and stamp and pencil notation along top edge. Gandhi’s brief message here, apparently concerning a saffron-colored sari, reflects a interestingly sexist method as he tells the recipient to “be quiet.” Unique correspondence from one of India’s pre-eminent political and spiritual leaders.
