द ब्यूटीफुल ट्री: १८वीं सदी में भारत की स्वदेशी गुरुकुल शिक्षा (धर्मपाल)

10 September 1939
Mahatma Gandhi,
Segaon Wardha,
Central Provinces,
India.
Dear Mr Gandhi,
Many thanks for your letter and enclosure relating to my
book.
I will write to you on the subject later when I am less
overwhelmed with work, but I cannot wait to express to you my
profound gratitude, shared, I am sure, by an innumerable
number of my fellow-countrymen, all over the world, for the
attitude you have taken up in regard to the present War at your
interview with the Viceroy, reported in the 'Times'.
I know how much it must have cost you to express an
opinion involving any kind of approval of war; I hate war,
perhaps as much as you do, but violence on the part of a
policeman in trying to rescue a child from the clutches of a
ruffian, is surely justifiable and it is to such action that I
compare the war of Great Britain and France in support of
Poland at this moment.
With every good wish,
Believe me,
Yours sincerely,
Sd/- Philip Hartog
