99 पोलाकका खत आया । असमें लिखा है कि लन्दनके अखबार कहते हैं : ८-६-३२ You have taken up the sewing machine having been disillusioned with the slowness of the Charkha. I don't believe it for a moment. But it needs a prompt denial. " चरखेकी धीमी गतिके कारण आपका भ्रम मिट गया है और अब आप सिंगरकी सीनेकी मशीनकी हिमायत करने लगे हैं। मैं तो यह बात जरा भी नहीं मानता, लेकिन आपको अिसका तुरन्त खण्डन तो करना ही चाहिये।" बापने पोलाकको लम्बा मजेदार पत्र लिखा । असमें पत्र दुबारा न पढ़ लेनेके परिणाम बयान किये । बताया कि अक बार अक पत्रमें No (नहीं) लिखना रह गया था, असका कैसा नतीजा हुआ। बाके बारेमें लिखा : “She has aged considerably — in some respects perhaps more than I have. Spiritually she has made wonderful progress." "वह बूढ़ी हो गयी है की बातोंमें तो मुझसे भी ज्यादा । आध्यात्मिक दृष्टिसे असने जबरदस्त प्रगति की है ।" और फिर चरखके बारेमें लिखा: "It will take me many incarnations to become disillusioned with the slowness of the Charkha. The slowness of the Charkha is perhaps its most appealing part for me. But it has so many attractions for me that I can never get tired of it. It has a perennial interest for me. Its implications are growing on me and I make discoveries of its beauties almost from day to day. I am not using a sewing machine in its place or at all. I know how the mistake crept into the papers. My right elbow, having been used for turning the wheel, almost without a break for over ten years, began to give pain and the doctors here to the conclusion that the pain was of the same type that tennis players often have after continuous use of the racquet. They therefore advised complete rest for the elbow. That might have meant cessation of spinning for some time, but for Prabhudas's invention. You know Prabhudas Chhaganlal's son. His invention consists in turning the wheel with a pedal and thus freeing the right hand also for drawing the thread and practically doubling the output २०४ came
