continue my work and bring it to an end. This is, however, impossible without constantly making use of your manuscript As I did not receive an answer up to now I fear that some letter has been lost and I therefore beg to ask you once more kindly to permit me to make use of your manuscript. Otherwise I should have to stop my work of editing the Sanskrit text of Hemavijaya's Kathāratnākara for a critical edition of this text is impossible without your manuscript.
Yours most respectfully,
DR. FRIEDRICH WELLER Professor at the Leipzig University,
(2) Leipzig, C, 1, Stephanstrasse 12/ii rechts
7th of Sept. 1936. Your Holiness,
I acknowledge with many thanks receipt your letter. Having been absent from Leipzig for some time, I regret that only today I can despatch an answer to your address. Please be kind enough to excuse the delay. I went to see Professor Hertel, showed him your letter and Professor Hertel told me that he will write to you. At the same time, I discussed with Professor Hertel once more the task of publishing a ciritical edition of Hemavijaya's Katharatnakara. He is of opinion that such an edition would be an essential work in more than one respect. He thinks, however, that such an edition can only be accomplished if the editor may constantly have recourse to your manuscript, as only by means of this manuscript it will be possible to value the various readings of other manuscripts of the Katharatnakara. It would not take too long a time to peruse the manuscript belonging to you, it would take Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
