report on the activity of the Yashovijaya Granthamala and of similar Jain collections, about the works published or taken in hand for publication. Our French “Societe Asiatique" is celebrating its centenary on the 10th of July. Delegates will attend from England, America, Italy, Switzerland, Hollad etc. I shall be very glad to send a report about the scientific activitity of the Jain community, which if read in a public meeting, will certainly awoke interest. Shall I have to report about a critical edition of the whole of the Angas a work the need of which has to be felt by any scholar and which would certainly concern many aspects of Indian Scholarship.
To reach in time the Centenary meeting, a paper has to be sent from here at latest on the 11th June. Allow me to urge you respecffully for early informations. I shall remain here upto that date. Please let me know also when and where I can meet you; I have also to bring you compliments from Dr. Thomas.
Yours respectfully,
SYLVAIN LEVI Prof. Sylvain Levi, Katmandu, Nepal, Via Rexaul.
I add that for the last years I had been engaged in collecting meterials about the maritime activity of old India and that I found a treasure of informations in Jain literature. I am sure that I shall know much more by an interview with you.
