My Dear Sir,
I am desired by the Rev. Dr. Barrows to make an immediate acknowledgment of your favour of May 13. It is eminently to be desired that there should be present at the Parliament of Religious a learned representative of the Jain community.
We indeed sorry that there is no prospect of having the Muni Atmaramji with us and trust the community over which he presides will depute some one to represent. It is, I trust, needless for me to say that your delegate will be received by us in Chicago with every distinction and during his stay here will receive of our hospitality in as great a measure as we are able to record it. If you therefore decide to send a representative, will you kindly cable the fact to me? The paper which larned Muni is preparing will indeed be very welcome and will be given a place in the programme in keeping with the high rank of its author. Although we here in Chicago are a long distance from you, the name of Muni Atmaramjee is frequently alluded to in religious discussions. For the purpose of illustrating the volumes which are to record the proceedings of the Parliament of Religious. I am in want of a few pictures to illustrate the rites and ceremonies of the Jain faith. May I ask you to procure these for me (at any expense) and send at your earliest convenience.
I am,
Very truly yours,
