Worlds' Congress Auxiliary
Committee on Religious Congress,
Rev. John Henry Barrows D. D.,
Chairman, Chicago U. S. A. November 16th 1892.
2330 Michigan Ave.
Mr. Atmaramji, Bombay, India.
Please address me
William Pipe, 2330 Machigan Ave, Chicago, United States of America. Dear Sir,
There will be mailed to you in the course of a week an appointment as a member of the Advisory Council of the Parliament of the Relegions to be held in Chicago in 1893. In the meantime the Chairman instructs me to ask you if you will kindly forward to me at your earliest convenience two photographs of yourself and a short sketch of your life. These are to be used in preparing the illustrated account of representatives of the great faiths of the world. Will you, therefore, give this matter your earnest consideration and forward to me as soon as possible what is requested? Some other pictures and explanatory literature that would illustrate any feature of Hinduism would be much appreciated. With fraternal greetings,
:12:
I am,
Faithfully and sincerely yours, William Pipe.
