The fact that you at present are residing not far from that place induces me to ask your kind help in procuring these Mss. at least those named under Nrs. 1) and 2). I am sure, if they cannot be sent themselves, they might be copied by a trustful copyist who does not make corrections. But, as it would be rather expensive to pay for all of them at once, the copying work ought to begin with Nrs. 7506-7508 in the Sen Gan Jain Mandir. The author of the Catalogue mentions as the Managers of the temple, "who rendered all possible help in securing access to the Mss."

I do not doubt that your influence will manage to induce those Digamber gentlemen to do something necessary, in order that valuable Apabhramsha work might be published in a good manner.
Muni Jina Vijaya is staying here, and I hope he will make good progress in learning German,
With my very best thanks in advance, and kind regards to those men of your staff who knows me,
I am, dear Acharya Maharajaji,
