SIR,—I was interested to learn, from the passage of Gandhi’s autobiography quoted in your columns, that a book of mine had helped the Mahatma to keep the vegetarian vows made to his mother. An irreverent friend tells me that he, too, was assisted towards vegetarianism by something I had_written, but that in “his case it was a matter not of vows, but of rows with his mother, his family having strongly opposed his change of diet. Rows or vows; it seems to be an instance of “all’s well that ends well.”
Yours faithfully,
