Transcription

Yeravda Central Prison

12th January, 1933

Dear Friend,

My whole heart goes out to you. When the conviction goes deeper than the intellect, you will brave all dangers and risks and live the true life, and you will at once find that it is its own reward. Dissatisfaction will give place to full satisfaction, because it will not depend upon external circumstances. An ever-flowing well will be opened out in your own heart from which you will draw new joy and new satisfaction from day to day.

Yours sincerely,

[signed] MK Gandhi

Harry Deutch, Esq.
