I never expected to find any one of these coins. So it may happen 
that some day I may come across a rupee of Lohgarh. 
You are at liberty to print my letter to Mr. Irvine, and to use as

The General Secretary read a letter from Mohanto Omrao Giri 
Gossain asking for the return of the two Tibetan MSS. entitled “ Lam 
Rim Chlien-po ” and “ Rdorje Hehhau Chhenpohi Lam Gyi Rim-pa,” 
the presentation of which was announced in the Society’s Proceedings

block-print volume belonging to the Hon’ble Sir Charles Elliott is 
a correct edition. It is probably one of the earliest impressions taken 
from the stereotyped wooden boards that were prepared in 1726 A.D., 
under the orders of King Miwang. Since then no other edition of 
this work has appeared in Tibet. When I visited the great Printing 
Establishment of Narthang, near Tashilhumpo, in 1879, I found that

become worn out. Recent impressions from them must, therefore,
