himself would have approved of the selection made by the Jaina Community, and we who have been able to follow your work, know that nobody is better qualified to follow in the footsteps of the Sastravisarada Jainacharya than you. With all good wishes,

Kristiania 29. 9. 23.
Etnografisk Museum. My Dear Vijaya Indra Suri,
Many thanks for your kind letter of the 1st. Aug, and for the Uttaradhyayarla Sutra Pt. I. I am happy to know that the continuation of the work of the lamented Jainacharya has been entrusted into so able hands as yours.
With regard to the 'Acta Orientalia' there is one difficulty which prevents one from sending it to you. It is published by us together with the Oriental Societies of Denmark and Holland, and one publisher is E. J. Brill, Leiden, Holland. If you will kindly write to him, he will enter your name as a subscriber. The annual subscription is £. 1. and we shall soon have finished our second year. If it is difficult for you to enter into negotiat. ions with a bookseller, kindly let me know and I shall try to arrange the matter for you.
I hope to come to India sometime next year, and I shall be happy to make your personal acquaintance then.
Yours sincerely,
STEN Konow. Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
