Legendary Indian political leader known for his non-violent style of protest GANDHI entirely handwritten note written from Prison checking in on friends. According to the translation we received with the letter, Gandhi wrote this letter on August 31st, 1930, during his incarceration for his participation in the Salt March.
 
The Salt March was one of Gandhi's most memorable civil-disobedience campaigns. Starting in March of 1930, Gandhi protested the British monopoly on salt (a staple of the Indian diet) by marching across India and making salt from seawater in direct defiance of British law. For his actions, on May 5th, 1930 Gandhi was arrested and was not released from jail until January of 1931.
