SIR, 



In acknowledging the receipt of your letter of the 14th March last, and 

 in compliance with the request therein contained, I am instructed by the 

 Managing Committee of the Madras Literary and Auxiliary of the Royal 

 Asiatic Society, to inform you, that Messrs. W. H. Allen and Co., the So- 

 ciety's Booksellers, will be instructed to forward to your London Agent, 

 Mr, W. Pamplin, Junior, a parcel for your Academy, containing, with 

 the exceptions of Nos. 2, 3, 4, 12, and 13, which are out of print, all the 

 other Numbers of the Madras Journal of Literature and Science. This 

 channel, the Committee think, would best facilitate the interchange of 

 communications between the Society and your Academy. I am also in- 

 structed to add that the Society would be happy to forward the views of 

 your Academy in any manner in which it may require the Society's ser- 

 vices. In conclusion, I beg to state that the Society would be happy to 

 obtain a copy of your Almanac. 



I have the honor to be, &c. 

 Madras, j (Signed) J. Minchin,
