Nathan Raab, president of the Raab Collection, a historical document dealer in Ardmore, said  he has sold a rare letter written by Indian activist Mahatma Gandhi about Jesus Christ for $50,000.

The letter, written in April 1926 by Gandhi during his efforts leading the Indian independence movement, was in response to Milton Newberry Frantz, a Christian leader in the United States who had written to him about his beliefs, writes Daniel Craig in PhillyVoice.
