Your Holiness,
Today, I received your letter dated Nov. 26, 58 and I most cordially thank you for having dispatched it to my address.
As to the Asiatica I beg to repeat that I handed over this book to the Office for Exchange of Scientific Literature in Berlin the 10th of Oct., 58. It being a rather big volume it will be sent to you by parcel post. It will take some time before the ship brings this book to India, but I feel quite assured that you will receive it. May be you will receive the book through Central Library of India. Kindly allow me to ask you to let me know after some time whether the volume was received by you or not.
I am very glad to learn that your publisher has dispatched your book Vaisali to me. It will arrive in due time. After having received it, you will at once get a statement of receipt. Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat
