Shanghai, 6th January 1925, Right Reverend Sir,
I am afraid, you did not receive my letter, I had sent you in the spring 1923; I gave vent to the feelings of the deep sorrow aroused by the news of the decease of your lamented Acharya VIJAYA DHARMA SURI, whose humble friend I had been for years.
I expressed my conviction that his patta was occupied by one whose merits equalled those of his distinguished predecessor.
I have obtained no answer to the said letter, perhaps, owing to my removal to Shanghai (China), where I am now serving at a Japanese Buddhist Society, translating Skt. texts into
English and so forth. Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
