You see, my professorship includes not only sanskrit but also comparative philology, and I have got to devote considerable time to that part of it. But I hope soon to return to things that will be of more interest to you. With repeated thanks I remain,
Yours very sincerely, JARL CHARPTENTIER.

Honoured and dear Sir,
I wish to express my very sincere thanks for your most kind letter of November 28th last, and for forwarding me the book on the Jainacharya Shri Vijaya Dharma Suri by Mr. A. J. Sunavala, which I have read with the greatest interest. Of course I am very familiar with the name and distinguished work of your renowned predecessor, and have in common with all other students of historic India the greatest admiration and reverence for his life and work. We all especially appreciable Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
