ALS in Gujarati, signed “Bapu’s blessings,” one page, 6.25 x 6.5, August 21, 1928. Letter to his friend Dr. Behram Navroji Khambatti. In full: “I have received also Rs. 100 (Rupee). Your name has not been published intentionally in the acknowledgement. I realize you are not hungry for publicity. I do feel the same and don't want publicity. It won’t harm you to have your name published either. We have been more careful this time. We will be grateful to God when you have relief from your ailment.” Gandhi stayed out of active politics and as such limelight for most of the 1920s, preferring to resolve the wedge between the Swaraj Party and the Indian National Congress. Later on his life, he would come to embrace his celebrity using it to gain advantage over Great Britain with his hunger strikes and mass civil disobedience. Bisecting mailing folds, and some scattered light toning and staining, otherwise fine condition.
