Mar. 16th, 1926. My dear friend,
Many thanks for your kind letter dated 20th Feb. 1926 for the books Paumacariyam, Parsvanathacaritam, and Nitivakyam?tam which you so very kindly sent me. Of course I shall have a copy of my “History of Indian Literature" Vol. I, sent to you, as soon as it will be out. In revising my second volume, containing the section on Jain Literature, I should like to quote all important works which are accessible in printed editions. But it is so difficult to ascertain what has been printed, as I do not possess any list of the publications brought out by the Jaso-Vijaya-Granthamala, Jaina-Dbarma Prasaraka-Sabha, Manikacandra-Digambara-Jaina - Granthmala and other societies or collections of that kind. I wonder if you could cause such lists be sent to me. This would help much to make my survey of Jaina Literature more complete.
It is very kind of you and so quite in the spirit of your Great Master to offer me your help with regard to books.
I hope, you bave received my last letter in which I asked you some questions about the Pratishtha-Ceremonial. With kind regards and repeated thanks,
I am, Yours very sincerely,
