Many thanks for your kind letter, and for sending me a copy of new edition of your beautiful “ REMINISCENCES OF VIJAYA DHARMA SURI." They vividly bring back again to my mind reminiscences of the wonderful days I spent with you at Shivpuri in honouring the sacred memory of the great saint and Jain Acharya.
I am sorry, I have not seen Professor Kapadia's edition of the Tattvārathādhigama nor the editions of the Bhaktāmara and other Stotras by the same scholar, else I should have cer tainly mentioned them in my book. However, I shall make a note of them, in order to mention on someother occasion.

Yours very sincerely
