"Thank you for your most encouraging letter of February 25. It is good to feel that opinion is influenced by such actions as the demonstration on February 18 for, at times, it is difficult to avoid discouragement when one observes the follies of governments. I am constantly being told that civil disobedience is a mistake, and alienates more people than it attracts. Letters such as yours offer a convincing refutation of this view. Would you mind if, on some appropriate occasion, I were to quote your letter without your name and address?"
