Gandhis' first letter to Hitler 23/7/1939
Dear friend
Friends have been urging me to write to you for the sake of humanity. But i have resisted their request, because of the feeling that any letter from me would be an impertinence. Something tells me that I must not calculate and that I must make my appeal for whatever it may be worth. It is quite clear that you are the one person in the world who can prevent a war which may reduce humanity to the savage state. Must you pay that price for an object however worthy it may appear to you to be? Will you listen to the appeal of one who has deliberatley shunned the method of war not without considerable success? I anticipate your forgiveness, if I have erred in writing to you.
I remain,
Your sincere friend,
M.K Gandhi
