have it published elsewhere. I believe, no bonorarium bas been paid to him. So there would be no objection to returning the manuscript to him. But I should be sorry if it were not published in the volume. I wonder, however, myself why the volume of Jain Essays is not yet in print, as the sainted Acba. rya wanted to have it published in 1922.

Bombay, 11-11-1923 My dear friend and Reverend Sir,
I am very sorry, that it was not possible to include Agra in my programme on journey southwards. If I had known that Lucknow would be flooded when I arrived there, I could bave easily arranged to come to Agra instead. But I was invited by the University of Lucknow, and did not know that the University buildings were flooded until I arrived there.
Now I am very sorry not to have seen you once more, and must bid you good bye, before proceeding on my journey back to Europe. I hope, you are keeping well, and the Jain Essays will be printed at some time or others. I shall sail on Nov. 15th by the S. S. Aquileia (Lloyd Triesstivo). My European address will be as before : 11 Opatovic Rd., 8 Prague, Czechoslovakia, Europe. Hoping to hear from you, I am dear sir,
With kindest regards,
Your sincerely,
