me to find any source of appointment, perhaps as a teacher at a University or another Inistitute. Before three years, I had written in this matter to Sir Rabindranath Tagore. He has sent me a very kind letter stating his williness to give me an occasion for teaching in Shantiniketan. But there was that time no possibility for a German to go to India. I hope that I can realise my purpose later on.
Upto this day I have not published much; I have edited an unknown translation of German by the German Poet ....... Now will be printed the biography of Kumarajiva which I have translated from the Chinese, with copious notes. At present I am occupied in the study of the Tibetan language, which is necessary to me as I am to publish a translation of a Buddhist text.
As regards Jains literature and religion I have read many texts and I hope that I shall find occasion and time to publisb or to collect on of the numberous Jaina manucripts of our Library.
Yours very faithfully,
