Bestanddeel WCP/1/34 - Letter from Ven. W. Subhuti to William Claxton Peppé, 4 May 1899

Letter from Ven. W. Subhuti at Waskaduwa Vihara to William Claxton Peppé in Birdpore, in which he writes that he has not heard from Peppé for a long time. Prince Priest Jinavaravansa has returned to Ceylon and although he has learned much from him about the relics, Subhuti still wishes to know from Peppé 'whether the large pieces of relics were in a separate case from the small dust like relics or whether the both of them were intermingled in the same case'. He also wishes to know more about one relic which has some 'transparent substances in the form of loaf sugar'. Handwritten, 2 sides, dated 4 May 1899.
