Since January of this year, I have been a fellow of the Harvard Teaching Institute, a foundation for the promotion of chinese studies. I have been forced in consequence, to abandon largely my Indian studies and I have handed over all my material cencerning the Pancadandachattra prabandha to Pro fessor Franklin Edgerton who will probaly let one of his pupils work at it. Of course, my interest in Indian studies has not waned, only I have not now the time to devote myself to research problems in that field.
With deepest gratitude to you for the kind and lively interest which you have even in my work, I am,
Your eminence's obedient servant,
JAMES R. WARE.

June 30, 1936. Dear Sir,
Towards the end of February Professor Hertel informed me that you had asked him to send back to your address the manuscript of Hemavijaya's Kathāratnākara which you lent to him. Since that time I despatched by air-mail two letters to your address, asking you kindly to allow me to dispose off the manuscript for editing the sanskrit text of the Kathāgatnākara. I copied part of the manuscript and I should feel most obliged
to you if you were kind enough to make it possible to me to Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
