My Dear Friend,
I am grateful for your letters, your student Dr. Krause in Calcutta sent me the book and pamphlets that you had kindly asked him to forward. Many thanks. I shall write to him at the first opportunity to express my indebtedness to him.
Dr. Subhadra Devi (Dr. Krause) was present at the address I delivered in opening the Jaina conference on the 3rd inst. She appears to have been surprised that I could tell the Jaina as a thing or too about their past which they did not know. Some of the professors who attended the meeting spoke to me in the same strain.
Your may remember that I spoke to you about the need of some one learned in Jaina lore devoting himself assiduously to compiling a complete history of the rise and spread of the culture. I hope that you will take my suggestion seriously and set to work persons with the necessary qualifications.
I am anxious that the Jainas should have as brilliant a future as they have had a past. I therefore took the opportunity to call attention to some matters in respect of which Jainas need, in my estimation, toget themselves right. Dr. Subhadra Devi (Dr. C. Krause) is, I believe, sending you a translation of my address and I shell be glad to know what you think of the suggestions I putforward.

Mrs. St. Nihal Singh and I look forward to the pleasure of calling upon you shortly after my return to Bangalore, probably during the 3rd week of the month.
With highest personal regards, Believe me,
For Private & Personal Use Only
Yours Sincerely
St. Nihal Singh
