The Library, India Office, London S. W. 1.
January 11, 1923. My dear friend,
I now enclose the final bill of the Oxford University Press for the printing of Mr. Sunawala's biography of your Acharaya Mabaraj. The publication was as you remember, by the Cambridge University Press which. however, will charge you nothing.
The sun still to be paid is £. 21. 8. 10. If you will send it to me, I will forward it to the Oxford Press.
I am also sending by the post Mr. Sunawala's typewritten MS & a copy of my obituary notice of the Acharya which will shortly appear in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society.
I should like to subscribe Rs. 50 to the memorial of the Acharya. Will you kindly deduct this sum from the cheque which you send for the Oxford Press. I will then pay the sum to the Press instead of sending it to you.
No doubt you have recieved my last letter, enclosing a few lines concerning the Acharya. I have not yet been able to arrange concerning the photograph; but I will do so now. If you are in haste, you can make use of the photograph which you published some years ago - no, on second thoughts I think that the one which I now enclose will be satisfactory. With all kind regards,
Yours sincerely, F. W. THOMAS
