I was writing for your letter. You need not change Amba's name. Amba should continue to be called as Amba. In changing the name of the bride, we see an attempt to make her forget her relationships with her parents. Not a good practice. You get Harijan Bandhu and Harijan Sevak, alright no ? I hope you are fully well now. Do keep the habit of studying something.

(1) Gandhiji cannot give any desicion an cLosing of Prakashan Mandir. In Gandhiji's view nobody should be stopped from courting arrest, so as to carry on publication. But that work is to be handed over to somebody else who wanted to do it. Considering all the relevant factors one can deside in his own way. Premitted to ignore Gandhiji's opinion. One could do according to the best of one's thoughts. In case of difference of opinion Gandhiji's decision may be sought Not to do anything in haste. Mahadevbhai's view (Mahadevbhai was in Jail) may not to be different.
