I wonder how long I might keep the manuscripts ? As I am at present very busy with other matters, it may be some time before I can make a serious study of these manuscripts; but perhaps I could copy them as they are not very long.
With repeated thanks for your gracious kindness and for your expressions of willingness to aid me further, and with assurances of profound respect, I am,
Yours very faithfully,
FRANKLIN EDGERTON.

My dear friend,
I have left Poona somewhat sooner than I expected and am now on my way to Gwalior, where I shall arrive at the end of this week, that is in a few days. I shall be glad to spend a day at Shivpuri visiting the Jain institutions there. This I fear I can do no more than inspect it. I am coming from Agra to Jaipur next week, and should like to come down to Beawar from Jaipur to visit you for a day or so. I am sorry that my time is so limited, but I must be in Allhabad by November 5 at the latest, to attend the Oriental Conference there, and I must see Agra and Delhi and other places, bofore then.
It will probably be about the end of next week that is about the 14th of October before I reach Beawar but if I go to Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
