Tawney, with that love which have always distinguished them of Oriental literature and with that kindness which is theirs for struggling distress, have both written to Mahāmahopādhyāya Mahesh Chandra Nyāyaratna, urging him to befriend me to the best of his power. Mahāmahopādhyāya Nyāyaratna is a tower of strength. The exertion of his influence cannot go for nothing. My obligations to Mons. A. Barth and other continental scholars, as also to Professor Lanman and other American scholars, as also to Dr. R. Rost and Processor Max Muller, it would be impossible to exaggerate. Every one of these emenent men is trying his best to help me. May the Almighty, if not for my sake, at least for theirs, crown those exertions with success!
