Today is Sunday. We will reach Aden in the morning. I felt uneasiness in my heart till Port Said. But after leaving that, I felt happy and am looking forward for having a glimpse of motherland. I have yet to see whether the present state of joy is temporary or lasting. I am wearing the Indian dress current in S. Africa. I am busy learning Bengali. Hence, will not write more letters at present. This letter may be shown to all the residents of the Phoenix Farm. Kasturba sends blessings to you all. Tell Imamsaheb that I shall meet his father. |

Narandas Gandhi in his letter to Maganbhai Gandhi gives a very detailed, vivid and graphic account of the several receptions that were held in Bombay in honour of Gandhiji on his return from South Africa. Ref. to several such receptions, one presided over by Pherozshah Mehta, the other by Jinnah and so on. Gandhiji in replying to those receptions placed his ideas before the audiences. Narandas refers in particular to a reception held by 'Modh Samaj', the same 'Samaj' which wanted to excommunicate Gandhiji while he was going abroad for the first time. 'Modh Samaj' gave him a rousing reception. Ref. to change of heart in Hansraj Sheth, uncle of Mohchandbhai, a leading member of the 'Modh Samaj'. Narandas says that it was his good fortune to be with Gandhiji for about a week at the happy moments in the life of Gandhiji. Ref. to reception in honour of Kasturba also. Gandhiji went to Rajkot from where also reports have come of receptions held in honour of Gandhiji. |
