illustration of the life of an Hindu woman to our sisters of the Western hemisphere. A short stay of nearly two years of your son Master Mohan in america, and his training in an American Educational Institution, give us every hope that he will be a second Gandhi after you pick up, with the greatest zeal and interest, the work which you have commenced so successfully of implanting 'India in America'.
In conclusion, we wish you a hearty bon voyage to England and America and a happy return to our dear country after fulfilling your noble mission of preaching Oriental Philosophy.
On behalf of the Friends and admirers, assembled in a Public Meeting held at Novelty Theatre. BOMBAY
President Dated 23rd September, 1899

EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS WRITTEN TO
SHRI PANNALAL SHAH
I received you letter in beautiful handwriting.
In have no information about Shri Virchandbhai. When I first read in the newspaper of the time, or in the letters of Swami Vivekanda that Mr. Gandhi represented the Jains at the Chicago conference, I thought he was the same as Karmavir Gandhi of South Africa fame. Then, when in 1915 | met the entourage of Mahatmaji at Shantiniketan, I learnt that the Gandhi who attended the Parliament of Religions in 1893 was another Gandhi and that his name was 'Virchand Gandhi'.
