Letter from Dr. Alois Anton Führer at Camp Kapilavastu to W. C. Peppé in Birdpore, in which Führer congratulates Peppé on his excavation and asks him to look for an inscription. He accepts Peppé's invitation to see the excavation but cannot get away 'even for a day' because of the damage the coolies would do to his own excavation work. He hopes to come on 15 February and offers to take over Peppé's excavation. Handwritten, 3 sides, dated 19 January 1898.
