Dear Sir,

I received your editions of Susruta and Charaka and beg to convey my best thanks to you at once. I am just going to take a short holiday and must leave the study of your books till I return. However, I have seen enough of them to know that they will prove very useful. When¬ ever your countrymen take the trouble to print a good Sanscrit commentary with the texts, they enable us- to understand the texts as well as if we were in India, per¬ haps even better, provided that the commentators were better informed than any one now living.

But I have no doubt that you ought to publish an English translation of Charaka. It is more important even than Susruta. * * * The book is of great im¬ portance both to Sanscrit scholars and to medical men who take an interest in the historical development of medicine.

I have to write in a great hurry, and I can only add that I shall be very glad to help you in any way you may wish.

I am yours sincerely,

!>'. MAX MULLER.

Gothenburg, Sweden, Od. 8, 1891.

I I am deeply interested in anything Indian, and I need l not say that I shall consider it as a gain to obtain what¬ ever insight I may into the subject treated of in your valuable translation. I wish you success in this important work.

Yours very respectfully,

Dear Sir,

It is delightful to see one interested, in so broad minded a way, in giving back to the modern world the treasures of the ancient books. It is pleasing to seethe earnest energy which the Hindus are putting forth to give those in the West greater advantages to study their litera¬ ture of the past in which we take so warm an interest. I must congratulate you, dear Pandit, with true apprecia¬ tion of your efforts.

As I have also expressed to some of my Parsi cor¬ respondence friends, it is pleasing in return to know that you in the East appreciate our studies and interest.

I should very much like to make a little note, in one of our papers, of the praiseworthy work you are doing.

Be assured, Sir, of my hearty thanks and appreciation and of my deep interest in India and antique lore.

With many thanks for the compliment and best wishes for your success,

Believe me,

Yours faithfully,
