I have now to finish something for the Cambridge History of India: it has to be done by July 1; but after that I hope for a little more leisure, except that there is an Orientalist meeting in Paris on July 10-13, to celebrate the Centenary of the Societs Asiatique. I am very sorry for all that I have left undone so far; but, as you know. I am not allowed the luxury of repose or leisure for literary work.
I am delighted to hear of the improvement in the Acharya's health, and I hope that he is now quite strong enough for all the fatigues of your journey. Please give him my most cordial respects, and remember me to all our friends. If you can exercise a little more patience I hope to accomplish all the things of which we have spoken.
M. Levi writes that he hopes to see the Acharya before leaving India.
I hope that you are yourself quite well and prospering in your work.
With all kind regard,
My dear friend,

Finding that the Resident at Gwalior is
at present away,
I have written to the gentleman acting for him a letter of which I now enclose a copy. I hope that it will help if you write to the gentlemen, you may find it convenient to send him a copy of Mr. Sunawala's memoir.
