P.S. I will write again concerning the JAINATATTVAJNANA which is very complete. The translations are not perfect.

The Library, India Office, London. S. W. 1.
July 23, 1921. My dear friend,
I am now enclosing a corrected page-proof of our honoured friend, the Acharya's biography by Mr. Sunawala. Will you kindly examine it to send it to me in order that I may give the order for printing ?
You will see that the Oxford Press is prepared to publish the work. There is a difficulty in publications by the Jain Literature Society, because for that Society the Cambridge University Press is the publishers and this work is printed at Oxford, but I will consider whether anything can be done.
I enclose also the Oxford Press account. It would be convenient if I could receive the sum due to the Press, so that they may be quite ready to finish the printing at once. And will you let me know your views concerning the publications. (See the enclosed letter from Mr. Hall)?
I hope that you and all our friends are quite well. Please give my kind rememberences to them all. I am writing in haste to catch the mail and I shall write again shortly. With kind regards.
Yours very sincerely,
F. W. THOMAS Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
