Etnografisk Museum. My dear Indra Vijaya,
Many thanks for your kind letter of Oct. 21st. which has apparently been considerably delayed on the way. In the meantime you will probably have received a photograph, which I sent to the late Acharya Maharaj shortly before his death, and also a Norwegian newspaper containing an article about the deceased Acharya and his work. I enclose a draft for one pound sterling as a small contribution to the memorial fund. I wish that I were in a position to send more, but what is, if not any worth, at least my lot.
I hope to send you another paper on the late Jainacharya in the beginning of next year. It is being printed in a scientific journal, the 'Acta Orientalia.'
It is difficult to give expression to my feelings in a few lines. I would however say that : Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
