January 11, 1926. Sir,
It is with the greatest pleasure that I have read your kind letter of December 2nd.
I appreciate greatly your offer of assistance in my work, and I can assure you that I will avail myself of it. I want however, to wait until I know all the questions that I shall want to ask; that will save much time.
The two books which your Holiness so kindly sent me have arrived; I thank you heartily for them. I know that I shall enjoy them since they treat of your noble and illustrious predecessor of whom I have already heard much from my friend and teacher, Professor Franklin Edgerton, of Philadelphia. With kindest and best wishes to your Holiness, I am,
very respectfully yours,
JAMES R. WARE P. S. It was a pleasure to present your Dharma Labh to Monsieur Sylvain Levi and his wife. I am now studying under Monsieur Levi's direction.
