takes a very long time. Besides, I am studying DesaveyaliyaNijjutti with Dr. Schubring.
I still remember vividly and gratefully my visit to Kekdi two years ago. I was very sorry indeed that this year I could not see you, but unfortunately my time was so short and my programme so full, that I could not arrange. So I am hoping for a future occasion.
With my best wishes and kind regards,
Yours sincerely, L. ALSDORF
Please give my best regards to Mr. Gulabchand Jain.

Revered Acharyamaharaj,
My joy in receiving the revised second edition of your final book on a ait was greatly marred by the bad news that you
are affected with cataract on both your eyes. Nodoubt it must · be very hard to be unable to read and write and thus to be prevented from carrying on your most valuable historical resear. ches. I can only hope and wish that your eyesight will be restored in the near future by a susscessful operation.
I have already dispatched two copies of my edition and translation of Ritafrat; I hope they will reach you in due course.
I shall also send (by sea-mail) a copy of Dr. Bruhn's book on Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
