greatly interested in Jainism and other branches of Indology although I have not yet published any papers on Jainsim.
You will be glad to know that I am now in Marburg as Professor for Indology and so I have left Berlin and the Prussian State Library. I am here the successor of Professor Geldner well known Vedic scholar. He lives here and celebrates his 75th birth day on Dec.

I am glad to know that the Institution at Shivpuri is well flourishing. Certainly I intended, and still do so, to go to India, but I could not yet carry out any intention on account of pecuniary circumstances. I am awaiting for a future chance to visit India and to study the great religion, Jainism especially. With best respect very sincerely,
Yours, Joh. NOBEL
P. S. I shall be very much obliged to you if you will occasionaly send to me important publications on Jainism and thus promote the study of Jainism in Germany.
