Sir,

173 Boulevard Saint Germain, Paris, France Sept. 13, 1926.
Your very welcome letter of August 17th arrived several days ago, and today I received Hiralal Hansraj's editions of the Pancadandachattraprabandha which you were so kind as to send me. A cursory examination of his edition shows that it is based on a manuscript differing both from the one which you sent us and also the one which is in the National Library at Berlin, consequently I think that it will now be rather easy to edit the text.
I am very sorry to hear of the trouble which the jains are having in Palitana, and I trust that the matter will speedily adjust itself equitably.
In accordance with your suggestion I have written to the Bhandarkar Institute, concerning manuscripts of the Vikrama. carjta or Panca.
With very best wishes, I am,
Sir,
Most respectfully yours, JAMES R. WARE

Your letter of July 9th with that of Mr. Shah has just reached me here. I should have written you long ago to tell you of my return to America. My fellowship at Paris ran out I was forced to return home and seek employment. I am now teaching Latin here in Seattle.
