I enclose a cutting from the German Magazine 'Der Neue Orient' (New Orient) January 1923, where I have written a short necrologue of the Acharyaji.
I hope this letter will reach you safely, though I do not know your new address, because you did not write to me for a long time.

Yours sincerely, HELMUTH VON GLASENAPP.

Revered Sir,
On the request of Professar Hertel I hand you my dissertation "The Doctrine of Karman" in the Philosophy of the Jainas for which I obtained my Doctor Degree 1914 at the Universits of Bonn with kind assistance of the Jainadarsanadivākara Prof. Jacobi. The limited edition which appeared on the market being sold-out since the end of 1919, with impossibility at present of a reprint being arranged for on account of the high printing cost in Germany. I beg to lay stress on the fact, that the copy forwarded is one of the last ones in my own possession. The English translation of the book has been completed and will, by courtesy and through liberality of a pious Jaina merchant, be published in India this year.
Yours very sincerely,
DR. HELMUTH VON GLasenapp.
