Dear Mr. Mallinath,
Thanks so much for your wonderful letter. It was exactly what I wanted "multum in parvo". After all it seems to me that when we get down to bedrock, in all religions, it is the same God we are seeking, some ultimate perfection, infinitely more beautiful than our dreams of the present, who is it says " Here say to the heretic and orthodoxy to the orthodox, but the dust of the rose petal belongs to the heart of the perfume seller". Thanks so many times for offering to send me the Jaina Gazette..........
Thanks so much for your kind offer to answer any question for me. There are often questions one longs to ask but so few people can answer them as one would wish. Your last letter has given me much to think over......
With kind regards,
Yours sincerely, ALYS, M. M. MISSING.
