A letter from Mahatama Ghandi to Hitler

LETTER TO ADOLF HITLER
AS AT WARD HA, C.P., INDIA
July 23, 1939

HERR HITLER

BERLIN

GERMANY

DEAR FRIEND,

Friends have been urging me to write to you for the sake of humanity.

But I ave 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 today 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 deliberately anyway.

I anticipated your forgiveness, if I have erred in writing to you.

I remain,

Your sincere friend,

M.K. GHANDHI .
