At several times I have written to you. I have also, two years ago, sent you a copy of my book on the "sa Religion djaina", but I received no information about it.
Now I am engaged on Umasvati's Tattvarthasutra in order to translate it into French, as that sutra, in my opinion, is a brief, but complete, exposition of Jaina religion. With my best thanks and feelings of veneration,
I remain,
Yours very sincerely DR. A. GUERINOT

My dear and venerable Muniraj Indravijayaji,
I should be ashamed of not having answered all the lettersyou kindly wrote me in the last months, if a possibility had existed to do so. But the utter want of leisure for letterwriting prevented me from writing to you, especially so, as whenever I am writing you a letter, I have so many and in my opinion important-things to say, that I do not like to use a bit of time not sufficient for the necessary reflection. In the first half of this year I was seriously ill, as I told you, and after it my health still was a bad and my spirits very low. Then there was an affair of theft, which took all my time. From the papers left behind by my guru Prof. Windisch, Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat
