I wonder if you have considered further my proposal for an uniform edition of the angas. A friend of mine has a text of the nayadhammakaha, critically prepared, and that might go without delay to the printer, if we could get the money which is necessary. The same friend, who has published an edition of the Uttaradhyayanasutra, would be prepared to edit the 'Journal of Jain studies' which you proposed when I was in India.
My translation of Nyayasiddhanta-muktavali with the Dinkari is now all type-written, and I hope that before long it will go to the press. I should next like to take up some work on the Jaina logic. If you have read the account of jainism in Professor Radhakrishana's Indian Philosophy, Vol. I, or that in Professor Dasgupta's History of Indian Philosophy, Vol. I, perhaps you could kindly let me know your opinion, or the opinion of our frieand Nyaya Vijaya concerning them.
At the Empire Exhibition in London there is going to be in: October a Conference on the Religions of the Empire, at which Mr. Jagmandir Lal Jaini will speak on Jainism.
I am very much exhausted by overwork and am now going for a fortnight's holiday in Norway, where I shall see my friend Prof. Sten Konow, who is coming to India this winter. You have printed his account of your Guru in the 'Reminiscences'.
I enclose a letter to Colonel Luard, who I feel sure will be happy to help you in any matter which he can properly take up. I have also asked Sahibzada Aftab Ahmad Khan to write on your behalf. I spoke to Col. Luard concerning Dr. Kapur.
Please give my kind remembrances to all our friends, I remain, my dear friend.
Yours sincerely,
F. W. THOMAS Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
