I hope this finds you in good health. I also hope that the health of your mother who has reached a ripe age is satisfactory.
Very many thanks for your letter of 26-10-94 and for the parcel with your edition of Hemacandra's Sabdanusasana (I-VII) with Laghuvratti. It reached me last month. I am glad that have this valuable publication and I congratulate you and your co-workers on the completion of this task.
In your letter you mention Deogarh and my book, which was published in 1969. At the moment I have finished an article on Jaina iconography. After that I will probably write an article on Deogarh in order to update my earlier studies. You will see all the offprints. The Deogarh book itself is very expensive, but I hope that sooner or later the price will be reduced and in that case I will buy a copy and make it available for you. The jirnoddhar at Deogarh has in fact done more harm than nood, at least from the point of view of art history. Unfortunately nothing can be done and similar changes may take place at other tirthas
There has been a conference on Jaina studies in Toronto (Canada) from March 31 to April 2. I suppose you have been informed about it. I could not attend it myself due to my health problems. However, I am still doing some teaching at the university inspite of my retirement in 1991.
I remember having met you during my stay in India from 1954-57. But my memory is no longer fresh and I do not think that I remember also your Gurudeva.
Once more many thanks for all the books which have recei ved from you these last years, and respectful regards.

Your sincerely,
