Letter, April 5, 1924¹²⁰

[Mr. Murphy, Secretary of a Gandhi Club, a boys' club at the YMCA, in Newburgh, NY, wrote to Gandhiji on February 27, 1924: "Since the club bears your name, its object is to study, discuss and read of your life and works. We find the study of your life very interesting." He requested a message.¹²¹ 
The Club was founded by Gordon Law who had met Gandhiji in India.¹²²]

My dear friend,
I thank for your letter of good wishes. You ask for a word from me. Here it is: There is no search greater than that of Truth. The only means of finding it out is through non-violence in its extreme form. It is because we have ignored it that we seek to impose by force what we consider is truth upon others.

Your sincere friend,

Edward Murphy, Esq.
Secretary, The Gandhi Club
Young Men's Christian Association
