Dear Suri,
With deeply felt thanks I acknowledge the receipt of your kind gift which gave me great pleasure and enriched my know. ledge of the work done by a great man of your faith.
My Gujarati studies are prospering well and give me much satisfaction the only drawback is the absence of a reliable Gujarati Dictionary.
In winter I shall bave the pleasure to begin the study of old Gujarati to which I am looking forward.
Yours sincerely LUDWIG ALSDORF.
