He was very glad to receive the Gujrati translation of Dr. Esslemont's
book, and he hopes that through your efforts the Hindi and Urdu
translation of it will soon be ready for publication. As you may know,
this work has already been translated into 19 different languages and its
rendering into 11 others will be soon completed. This is really
encouraging.
[From the Guardian:]
I long to hear from you and of the progress of your devoted and incessant
activities in the service of our beloved Faith. I am also eager to receive
the good news of the completion of the translation and early publication
of the Urdu and Hindi versions of the 'New Era'. The utmost effort should
be exerted to ensure the consummation of this work which, I feel, must
precede an intensive teaching campaign among the masses in India. I am
arranging for Mrs. Kehler to visit southern Persia this autumn after which
she is expecting to visit India, this winter.
