Letter From Gandhiji To Sarojni Naidu, April 12, 1945

Bombay,
April 12, 1945

My dear Bulbul,

Your letter. Here is a note for Maina. You must sing in the midst of personal sorrow. Why should it be all joy? My love to you and the whole family.

I for one shall not trouble you while you are undergoing this purifying bath. I had many temptations to send the Singer to the frontier, to Sind, to the States, etc. My answer was an emphatic 'no'.

Love.

Spinner
