case I should request you to kindly drop me a line and should arrive at Shivpuri on the 25th. I hope you will understand the difficulties which present me from devoting to Shivpuri the amount of time it rightly deserves and I would love to spend there.
Hoping to meet you soon.
I remain, Yours sincerely, L. ALSDORF

Allahabad, 2nd October 1931.
Revered Acharyamaharaj,
I am glad to tell you that I reached Allahabad safely and without any taklif. My motorcar arrived at Jhansi as early as 10.45 p. m. balf an hour before the departure of the train. I would have written earlier, but it was only today that I could get the photos which I am sending along with this letter. Unfortunately, only part of the photos I took have been successful, some of them being complete failures. I am particu. larly sorry not to have any really good picture of you; the snap I took in the bazar is out of focus and therefore very unsatisfactory.
I wish to tell you once more how much I enjoyed my visit to Shivpuri and how glad I am to have met you. It had been my ardent wish for several years to make your personal acquantance, and this wish bas at last been fulfilled now. Unfortunately,
owing to circumstances beyond my control, our meeting was a Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
