It seems to me that the safest would be for you to meet Jawaharlal outside. You can’t very well have him at your place on such an occasion – as he is likely to have people with him and they could hardly be excluded, but an invasion of the Ashram by Congress people would be as bad as [?]. So the best is if you seek him out instead of waiting for him to seek you out, as he might if you did not take the initiative.
As for the Dewas idea. Lord! It would be indeed killing two birds with one stone, but in a sense more than one. Dewas + a prominent member of the Ashram + the Socialist president of the Congress. A clear conspiracy, sir – aristocracy, middle class and proletariate (represented by a Communist intellectual) to overthrow the British empire under the cloak of music.
