If you have collected photographs, I could use for my book, please send them to me at your earliest convenience. I have collected for my book from Jaina Mss. in our National Library some very fine specimens of Jaina Art, illustrating the life of Mahavira and Sri. Parsvanatha and also a map of the Universe, illustrations of the Leshyas and so on. I have also some nice photographs from Jaina temples but I should like to have some more to make my book as complete as possible.
Therefore I should be very much obliged for sending me photograpes of the late Acharyaji, of yourself and of other famous Jaina Acharyas, and also photographs of celebrated places (Girnar, Pava, Parasnath etc) or pages from Mss. giving illustrations to the Jaina doctrines. The photographs or pictures you are sending to me will be send back to you immediately when they have been reproduced.
I conclude this letter with renewed thanks for all your kindness and remain with kind regards.
Yours very sincerely, HELMUTH VAN GLASENAPP.
P. S. You will be interested to hear, that in winter I shall deliver a great lecture on the Jaina Religion in the Berlin University,

17 Bendler Strasse,
Berlin W. 10. Dear Upadhyayaji,
It will interest you to hear that I have found a publisher for my work on the Jaina Religion, who will print the book Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
