Etnografisk Museum, My dear Guru,
Many thanks for your kind postcard of the 9th Nov. If it is possible for me to find time, I shall be happy to send you a short essay, perhaps about the Kharwela inscription which I am trying to study from the impressions published by Mr. Jayaswal.
Many thanks also for the valuable publications which you were good enough to send me. You were also good enough to offer to send me other works. What is here most needed, are the canonical writings, which are not accessible in this country. I only possess what has been printed in Europe and that is not much. The Angas are not contained in the list you were good enough to send me. The Visesyāvaśyaka No. 28 in the sanskrit list, is so far as I can see the Bhāsya. Would you be good enough to advise me how I can get the Angas themseIves. Without them it is impossible to study your religion as I should like to do it. I hope that you will not think me too impudent for drawing on your benevolence, but consider as a simple co-worker in your search for truth and enlightenment.
Yours sincerely, STEN KONOW
