Dearest Sister Maganbai, My soul is strocked to silence at the loss of my beloved Sethji. He was a friend, leader and colleague and to me almost like a father. Your loss is very great, but our sympathy and loyalty to you and your family, to your little brother and our beloved Sethani will never fail. Now a few things have to be done. (1) A Committee must be formed of 5 or 3 members to prepare an authoritative life of Sethji. A fund must be set apart for this. (2) One good memorial must be raised to Sethji. He was the pioneer lover and founder of Jaina Boarding Houses. His unimost ambition was to establish a Jaina Home in England.

Death has no power th' immortal soul to slay, That, when its present body turns to clay, Seeks a fresh home, and with unlessened might, Inspires another frame with life and light. Souls cannot die. They leave a former home. And in new bodies dwell, and from them roam Nothing can perish, all things change below, For spirits through all forms may come and go. Good beasts shall rise to human forms, and men, If bad, shall backward turn to beasts again. Thus, through a thousand shapes, the soul shall go,.
