Only an hour before I chanced to meet an old teacher of our school, Shri Gandhi, who casually

Page #149
126 jIvanasRti mentioned that he had read in a newspaper that Shri Mavajibhai passed away last week, and I hasten to offer my very sincere condolences to you and your sad bereavement. Looking back thirty five years, I remember your father as the one teacher who spoke to me for the first time. I was a stranger stepping into a new atmosphere, it was Mavajibhai who drew me to him first. We worked together for nearly twenty eight years, and I come to know him more and more intimately as years rolled. I was struck by his intelligence and his industry. It was remarkable that he talked English with the facility he had acquired without going to an English school. He wrote, I think, about sixty pamphlets full of thoughts a thing remarkable in a person who had little grounding in a modern school or college. I think he died well and he lived to see good days of comparative affluence and peace mixed with comfort. He had the consolation to see you well established and he used to tell proudly about you as a son. That was a success worth wishing for in life. Mr. Kati died on 20th July last year and Mr. Dalichand Mehta on the 25th of the same month. July seems to be a bad month for teachars of the school.

Sc., M.B.B.S., D. G. O. CAPTAIN I.M.S, HOSPITAL & DISPENSARY, Khetsi Chaturbhuj Bldg, Kirol Road, P. O, Ghatkopar, Bombay-77. Date : 21-7.1965 Dear Jayantibhai, It was a grievous shock to me, my son and daughter to read the sad news of your dear father's death. Since our coming to Ghatkopar my wife and I had made the acquaintance of Shri Mavjibhai which had ripend into a sincere friendship. His unassuming sociale ways, his religious temeperament and kind nature had endeared him to us as if he were one of tbe members of our family and
