Recently Jamnalalji has added tothe buildings.Hence there is sufficient accommodation.I havebeen assured that all the arrangements are perfect.Jamnalalji'sinvisible presence has been working behind all this,of course.  \nBhulabhai will take care of all the necessary arrangements inconsultation with you.You may now do what is most convenientto you.If you fix the meeting here,one advantage at any ratewill be that we shall be able to meet.  \nI have been discussing with Rajaji my intention of leavingthe Congress.He has come specially to discuss that.If possible,he wants to run away on Tuesday.  \nRamdas is returning from Khurja on Monday.It is becauseof the cholera there.I shall know more when he comes.  \nI hope you are recovering your strength.  \nMahadev has written to you everything about Jawaharlal.It was very good indeed that he went.Jawaharlal felt much com-forted.Moreover,the old lady and Kamala were very happy.  \nI have dashed this off in great haste immediately on enteringmy silence after the evening prayer.If anything is left out,I willsupply it tomorrow.  \nBlessings from  \nBAPU  \n[PS.]  \nMorning,August 27,1934  \nI have recollected one thing.It is not necessary for me nowto write to Ballubhai¹or anybody else about the matter concerningthe Municipality.I should write to you only.Even if you decideto take back the books belonging to the Vidyapith,there mustbe books worth thirty to fifty thousand belonging to the Ashram,maybe a little less or a little more.These books are lying unused.If they employ a librarian,the books can be catalogued on scien-tific lines,rules for lending them can be framed and they maythen be loaned according to those rules.I very much desire thatsomething should be done.²  \nAndrews and Jones³have arrived.I got your letter.Bhula-bhai will be seeing you tomorrow.You may certainly have themeeting at Wardha.As regards Mahadev,see him when youcome over.Andrews and Raja are here.  \nBAPU  \n[From Gujarati]  \nBapuna Patro-2:Sardar Vallabhbhaine,pp.128-30  \n408.LETTER T0 AMRITLAL V.THAKKAR  \nAugust 27,1934  \nBHAI BAPA,  \nI got your letter regarding Amalabehn.The Sangh needn'thave incurred that expenditure.But I don't write this by wayof criticism.Compassion is a wonderful thing.On the one hand,a trust,and,on the other,compassion.Who can solve this con-flict?But the expenditure ought not to be borne by the Sangh.  \nI,therefore,assume responsibility for that bill and for the tenrupees spent from Parikshitlal's pocket.I will lay my hand onsome other appropriate fund.Please forget about that bill.I will  \n1 Balwantrai Thakore,President of Ahmedabad Municipality2 Vide also pp.265-6.3 Stanley Jones","cbCaifEFB3Zhko6a","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifEFB3Zhko6a","pdf",195819,"English","# 407.
