As a Jaina Sadhu, I must not care for anything of money-value but books I care for and especially those which have emanated from the pen of any of my friends which I deem important for me ( since I have not yet attained that stage of life in which I can dispense with them ). I also care for my community whose future,-I mean the great future is to recover its former glory and lost position in the world of literature and thought-independent of the fate of this pathsala-Sri Yasovijaya Jain Pathsala. We the Sadhus do not touch money and consequently have no money to help it. We help it with our good wishes and literary work. All the Europeans and Indians help it in any way they can.
The Patan Ms. of 'Bajjalagga' was borrowed for a month only. So if you have done with it, let it be returned soon.
In conclusiou, I claim the indulgence of your old friendship for some unnecessary details.
With Dharmalabha and greetings,
Shri Yasovijaya Jain Pathasala, Benaras City,
18-7-1910.
I remain,
Yours, VIJAYA DHARMA SURI.
