going much better, the doctor does not allow me neither to read nor to write. My greatest thanks for your kind promise to search for manuscripts of the Tattva-Sangraha. It is a very important work for Jaina Philosophy also. I would be very thankful to you for sending me the two manuscripts actually in your possession as well as any other one you may find. Please excuse me for not having fulfilled till yet my promise of sending you my works. I send you with this mail two volumes of my work on Buddhist Philosophy. It is now being translated into french-language and I will send you the french traslation as soon as it is ready. With greetings and kindsest regards,
Your very sincerely Professor TH. STCHERBATSKY

Karpooka 20. My dear Suri Maharaj,
Many thanks for your letter and the two books you were so kind to send me and which I have duly received.
On reaching my nativ ecountry I went through a severe illness, this is why I remained silent so long. From Mr. Jacobi I have learnt that the Ms. of the Tattva Sangraha with the panjika has been found. I have in my possession a copy of same work taken from the Jaisalmir manuscript. I would be happy to undertake the edition of it, if you would most graciously care to entrust it to me. With my best greetings believe me.
Yours very sincerely
TH. STCHERBATSKY, Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
