6A. From Count Leo Tolstoy

8th May, 1910

DEAR FRIEND,

Just now I have received your letter and your book, Indian Home Rule.

I have read your book with great interest, because I think the question you have therein dealt with is important not only for Indians, but for the whole of Mankind.

I cannot find your first letter, but by discovering your biography by Doke, I happen to know you through that biography which gripped me and it gave a chance to know and understand you better.

I am not very well at present. So I am unable to write to you on all the questions which are inter¬connected with your book and also with your activities in general, which I value much. But I shall write to you as soon as I recover.

Your friend and brother,
LEO TOLSTOY
