LS in English, signed “M.K. Gandhi,” one page both sides, 4.25 x 6.75, February 25, 1937. In part: “I have your long letter of the 17th inst: I do not feel it is necessary to put any more of this controversy before the readers of Harijan. In the meantime so long as you consider even opposite verses in the four Gospels as apocryphal we must agree to differ.” Three words added to the text, “opposite verses in,” are in Gandhi’s hand. Gandhi once said in relation to the Gospels, “Europe mistook the bold and brave resistance, full of wisdom, by Jesus of Nazareth for passive resistance, as if it was of the weak. As I read the New Testament for the first time, I detected no passivity, no weakness about Jesus as depicted in the four gospels.” Accompanied by the original envelope addressed to Professor A.S. Wadia. Scattered light creasing, faint edge toning, and some very light clear preservative over most of the writing (affecting nothing), otherwise fine condition. COA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
