Jealgora, March 29.
My dear Mahatmaji,
I shall write to you again within a day or two; meanwhile an urgent matter has cropped up. Shri Narsingh, the Acting General Secretary of the AICC writes to say that he wants about 20 days’ notice for the meeting of the AICC.
Under the rules, the members of the AICC must have 15 days’ notice. Then again 4 or 5 days are required, according to him for the notice to reach the remotest parts of the country. Consequently, in all we want about 20 days’ time.
Subject to your approval, I am thinking that a date round about the 20th April would be suitable. But there is a difficulty. I am told that the Gandhi Seva Sangh Conference will be meeting in Bihar about the 20th April. So the two meetings will clash. The AICC, as also the Working Committee, will be meeting in Calcutta. Your presence there at the time is indispensably necessary.
May I suggest that the AICC do meet either before or after the Gandhi Seva Sangh Conference. In the former case, you could come to Calcutta first and then proceed to Bihar. In the latter case, you could go to Bihar first and then proceed to Calcutta. In the former case, the Sangh Conference will have to be postponed for a week. In the latter case the AICC meeting will have to be fixed for the end of April.
Kindly consider the matter and let me have your ‘Upadesh’ as to when the AICC should meet. Lastly, we must have you at the time of the AICC meeting.
I am progressing. I am anxious to hear that your blood pressure has gone up again. I am afraid you have been overworking yourself.
With Pranams,
Yours affectionately,
Subhas.
