stead pp. 17-32 were there in two copies, Gujarati I can only read with difficulty but I have tried to understand Sri Vijayadharma's letter and as always in his case, I am filled with admiration and reverence.
With regard to the 'Act Orientalia,' I must draw your attention to the fact that it is a journal which costs £. 1 a year. New subscriber will now be allowed a discount of 50% on the published 14 volumes, which can consequently be had for £. 7. In such circumstances I do not know whether you still want to subscribe. It would no doubt be important for one of your libraries to possess a complete set. And if you think so the best plan would perhaps be to instruct the Librarian to write to Messrs. E J. Drill, Booksellers, Leidon, Holland and the volumes would be sent at once.
I often remember the happy days I spent with you and other Jains in India, when my dear wife was still with me. I should love to renew my visit but I shall soon be too old. But I shall always think of you as a Kalyāṇamitra, a leader on the common way towards truth. In this search we are all brothers and friends.
With kindest regards, and all good wishes,
