Haribhadra. Of another one, that with Malayagiri's commenary. I only succeeded in obtaining the first Part published in 1928 (No. 56). The subsequent ones, if published, are wanting to me either. Next to these works I am in need of the Uttaradhyayana Part 1-3 published by the Devchand Lalbhai Jain Pustakoddhar Fund (Nrs. 33. 36. 41). Although Muni Jayantavijaya was kind enough to present me with his edition of the Sutra with Kamalsanyam's commentary, still Shanti Suri's Tika printed in Devchand Lalbhai edition is indispensable. I might name some more Agamas which have not found their way to me, e. g. Acharanga Part 1 and 2, but suffice it to say that those pointed out above would give a very strong impulse to work and decidedly facilitate my task, for the reader wants to be referred not to manuscripts but to printed books. I therefore would request you kindly to use your influence and to try to get hold of those volumes and to have them sent to me. I need not dwell on the great merit which lies in encouraging Jain studies in Europe.
With kind regards I am, dear Friends,
Yours sincerely

Dear friend:
Best thanks for your letter of 27th October from which I learn that you are in good health and at work to finish your book on the life of Mahavira. As to myself, after having translated into transcribed sanskrit my text of RISHIBHASHITA, I am now studying some of BHADRABAHU'S NIRYUKTIS. Unfortunately, in my stock of Agamodaya Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
