Prof. Schubring told me that there has been a tradition that such work should be entrusted only to those serving there; but he added that in the case of Rāsa Mss. the work of preparing their catalogue should be given to me they being in Gujarati. He asked me just to wait till the next Congress of the German Orientalists, which would meet in Hamburg. Then he will personally talk to the concerned, the atmosphere being very favourable because of the congress. Meanwhile I beg to remaind you about the catalogue of the Rãsa Mss. in Agra, which was being prepared when you wrote to me last year. This will be of much help to me, especially because the ha
1997 so kindly sent by you, does not contain the list of Gujrati works,
I have not yet acknowledged the receipt of the Thron 1ch of the fafaufa ITATAI (I would very much like to receive this magazine regularly). It was a great pleasure to me to find your photograph in this number which has, so to say, brought me nearer to your worthy self.
You write that the addresses of the managers and editors of the Jain Magazines are sent to me but they were not along with your letter. May I trouble you for them ?
You must have heard by this time that miss Krause is already in India. I have read about her different plans, but do not know what the real ones are.
I conveyed your greeting to Prof. Schubring, who thank. ed for the same. He also informed me of your letter to him; at present he is too much occupied with the work of his various classes and of his public lectures on the "Early History of India". "Gujarat and its people" is the theme of my lectures, Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
