14. xi. 58 My dear Acharya,
Through your two letters, I received with many thanks yesterday, I am informed that you were ill for two months. I wish from my deepest heart that you will soon recover and become as healthy as ever. Prof. Schubring wrote to me on 23 August that he had an operation because of his stomach trouble. I asked his daughter about the prognosis of his disease and am waiting for her answer. All my teachers, I wish, live long
From my avidyā about Indian custom (not from audacity) I have made several mistakes in the letters to you and am now ashamed of. Please take kindly my apologies and at the same time my thanks for that I am becoming wiser through your kind correction. (Prof. Alsdorf was an acquaintance of mine in Germany at that time after his return from India.)
Now, I am glad to know the books are ready to be shipped. : Their names in your list make us, me and my students, very happy, being able to use them in our study.
About the 40 books :- Because I thought firmly that you were only an Acārya in India, who knows my address of the Kyushu University, I deceived myself and sent you thanks for
them. But that must have been my mistake also. The books Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
