Berlin W. 10,
October 9th, 1922. Dear Upadhyayaji,
I can hardly express to you the profound regret I feel at the sad loss you suffered. When I learned some months ago that your venerable Guru Maharaj was not well, I expressed to him my hope that he may soon recover, and from the last letter I gath. ered that he himself bad still the hope that his health may improve, so that he would be able to continue his activities. Now I see, that our hope was vain and that the great leader has left our painful world. I love my own Guru too much and fully appreciate what you must experience at being so unexpectedly deprived of so good a Guru. In him I too have lost a kind. sincere and disinterested freind and master, whose loss I shall ever deplore. The duties that devolve upon you as his head-disciple and successor will, I trust, enable you to support an affliction which is the lot of man.
I should like very much to aid to the Vijayadharmasuri Memorial Fund to manifest my thankfulness and gratitude to the great scholar, we have lost, who has done so much for me. But unfortunately because of the worthlessness of German money my means do not allow me to contribute even a small sum. But if I can be in any other way of any use to you, I beg you to command my services.
I hope my letter to your Guru Maharaj, written in September, is in your hands, also the photo I was sending to him on his request. I remain with regards, ever dear Upadhyayaji,
most faithfully yours,
