The reason of taking this privilege of unduly prolonging it is, as has already been stated, the old and sincere friendship, which binds us and will ever bind us together in the common interest, we have in the progress of humanity. Again in consideration of our friendship, I shall ask you to enable me to procure all your works that is to say, any book, pamphlet, thesis (for the Academical Degree, prizes etc.) Magazines or Encyclopædia articles etc. either of your own authorship or that which might have been edited by you, no matter in what so-ever language they might have been written (I am glad to state here that, the Pathsala is now in a position to utilise books etc. written in English, French, German and other most important modern European languages). Those which you have with you and can spare easily, I may hope to get them direct from you for the use of the Pathasala. For others which you have not got with you, let me know the sources from which they can be got easily and without much cost (of course the principle is to get your works and not to remain without them, so the price is not the matter of consideration). The Pathsala is willing to pay whatever it may be but economy must also be a point with it and sympathisers must help it in securing that (i. e. economy) and therefore I have introduced the phrase "without much cost.
