of the Brahma Sutras. 
They also recommend that Pundit Ramnarain Vidyaratna’s offer be 
accepted to complete the edition of the Vedanta Sutras, as commenced 
by Dr. Roer, with Sankara’s commentary and Ananda’s glossary.”

on the borders of the district on the 12th instant, in fact on the 
very day I received your note.
