ONWARD TO THE TEMPLE OF LIBERTY.

To my comrades and countrymen:

Having served you to the best of my ability while working amongst you, it is now my high privilege to serve the Motherland by going to jail with my only son. What shall I say of him to you, who know him so well? I am fully confident that we shall meet again at no distant date as free men. I have only one parting word to say. Continue non-violent non-co-operation without a break until Swaraj is attained, and enlist as volunteers in your tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands. Let the march of pilgrims to the only Temple of Liberty now existing in India which has escaped sacrilege at the hands of the bureaucracy, viz. the jail, be kept up in an uninterrupted stream, swelling in strength and volume as each day passes. Adieu!
