Dear Amara,

J: No need to be sorry. Sounds like an exotic place to go away for a
few days!
A: A bit about your shipment, I took the two volumes of Paali only
texts of the Mahakaccayana set [of 14 books of various sizes, all but
the two with Thai explanations] to add to the BF books today. The
rest I will keep here for a while in case I could look up in the Thai
what you have post here. I would like to add that yesterday there was
a little photo session for the lady from NP bringing the WFB library
the large stack of books and telling us a little about the background
of its compilation and translation. Apparently it took them ten years
and a great deal of funding.
J: Thank you for taking the two Pali volumes to add to the BF books.
It will be good if you could keep the remaining 12 volumes of the set
for awhile in case we need some detailed explanations that you can
look up for us. I thought the set was only 3 volumes but it has turned
out to be a much larger set than anticipated.
A: I'm glad to be of some help,
J: Thank you for your great help, much appreciated.
Best wishes,
Jim
