My dear Vijaya Indra Suri,
Very many thanks for kindly sending me your beautiful volume of 'Reminiscenses of Vijaya Dharma Suri.' It is a pious and graceful memorial of the great Acharya, whose example will, I know, always be present to your mind in the noble work which you have taken on your shoulder. I shall probably come to India by the end of October or in the beginning of November and I took forward to making personal acquantance.
With all good wishes, your sincerely,

My Dear Jainacharya,
Many thanks for your kind letter of July 21st. Now I am at last in a posion to state approximately when I shall arrive in Bombay. It will be about the 27th October, and shall then have much pleasure in coming to Shivpuri on my way to Santiniketan. I shall write or wire from Bombay, when I am able to say exactly which day I come. I shall also try to deliver a lecture on 'the religious conditions in India 2500 years ago,' as you ask me to do, though I know how difficult it is to speak to you and your co-workers about a subject which you know. much better than I. I take it that you would all the same be prepared to listen to a westerner and hear, how, he, from his point of view, Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat
