I have received yesterday the University Convocation Number of the Jaina Hostel Magazine. Those are very useful and interesting notes about scholars, whose names are very well known to me. I hope that I can write some lines about this number in a great German journal. I did not know this journal before this day. The illustration there in are very beautiful and I wish that the journal may become more known to German scholars. Unfortunately we have from India books and periodicals too little.
As the English language is not my mother language, I may beg you to excuse if my english is not so good as I wish it were.
Hoping that you will excuse my delay and assuring that you will hear more often from me. I remain, dear Achary

Dear Sir,
I thank you very much for having sent me the Dharmdipika. I have great admiration for Hemachadra who surely was one of the most learned men in India. The commentary is written in such a way that the text of the Sutras is made very clear. The index are carefully prepared and are therefore very useful for the student.
I am surprised to hear from you that Miss Krause is in India. It seems therefore to be possible again for a German to get a passport for India. I hope that later on I would spend some years in India. However, it will be necessary for Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat
