My dear Mr. Schlegel
Here I am near 5000 feet above the sea enjoying as fine a climate as can be desired at this hot season. The thermometer Farrenheit is never above 75 75 & to day as low as 62 – Here I received an account of all your kindness to my family when near Bonn, for which accept my sincere thanks. – I have nothing to regret – but that I was not of the party. But the day will come, when I shall visit the Professor & offer my homage to him in his seat of wisdom & learning.
Among other accounts I have one of Your oriental room – & as I too continue to live in Your memory I send a few trifles through through Messrs Treuttel & Wurz to whom I enclose this letter. There is a Babylonian brick, an ornamented Persian Mpt & one small parcel containing
6 Silver coins 3 copper coins & 2 rings from Persia & of which I pray Your acceptance.
I hope soon to obtain a copy of the Ramayana from Guzerat & I shall send You some copies of our [2] lithographed Persian Mpts when completed.
I leave India at the latest the end of next year & shall I hope visit Germany soon after.

My dear Monsieur Schlegel
I send by this opportunity a copy of the Ramayan obtained as You wished in Guzerat. – I can only add, that never was there a public slave more anxious to break his chain & to wander free from the cares of government over the scenes lately visited by his family in Germany & Switzerland. But he yet hopes to have that pleasure & to pay his respects to professor Schlegel & to revive old times.
You will have received an account of Your election as a member of the Bombay Litterary Society which is honoured by the accession of one who is so zealous & to able a labourer in the field of oriental lore.
