Description

Hindu health: “Whenever fresh air, diet, and rest are in disorder, the end result is death”

ALS in Hindi, signed “Mohandas’ blessings,” one page, 6.25 x 7.5, no date. Gandhi writes to Samaldas. In full (translated): “I read your letter to Chaganlal and from that I learned that you are ill. And that is probably why there is no letter from you. Those who get fresh air, simple and light food, and complete rest will get cured of this fever. Light food means only liquid diet. I think that medicine hardly has any effect. Whenever fresh air, diet and rest are in disorder, the end result is death. I wish that you would seek out these three things.” In good to very good condition, with faint scattered spotting, light intersecting mailing folds (touching signature), wrinkles, and a few edge tears (tear through last several letters of signature, repaired from reverse). The writing is clear and dark throughout. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
