Letter from Dr Reinhold Rost to Brian Houghton Hodgson in which he thanks Hodgson for his timely letter and remarks that Mr Fergusson's Paper was only of a provisional nature and that Fergusson has since been working on a book on snake worship In India. He assures Hodgson that Fergusson will be pleased to know of Hodgon's pioneering work in the field. He also writes that he has made a list of Hodgons's contribution to English and Indian periodicals except those of the Bengal Asiatic Society Journal. He does not know when he will be able to finish the list and suggests lending the Index of the Journal to Hodgson to get the pages copied out. Handwritten, 2 sides, dated 20 August 1868.
