You know Viva is afraid of him he is the only mortal that she is afraid of - I should use the words "in awe" of him, rather - she thinks his mind is so great. Some one spoke admiringly of Swami Viveka. nanda, but Viva said quickly, "There is no comparison; Vivekanand is an adept at vituperation, but Mr. Gandhi is sincere and true, I admire Mr. Gandhi more than any man I ever heard of.”
Well, the beautiful evening is over, and I feel I must thank you for our enjoyment, as well as Mr. Gandhi. For if your heart had not warmed to us those snowy nights of last winter--we should have missed this with the rest.
I hope you will send more of those cards some to Miss Phillips to distribute. Perhaps with those who gave addresses at the lecture, the classes may be formed. How many are necessary to make it worth while ? Mr. Gandhi is quite business-like-he has learned by your teaching to get around promptly. I think we did not impress him very favorably so early in the morning. But never mind; we were so glad to see him once more.
If you have any instruction to carry out, I shall be miost happy to serve you.
Love from the 4000-year-old-Baby and myself,
