"You have succeeded in bringing out the noble soul of your hero; the unbelievable charity of the man reads like an episode from the Arabian Talcs. But the difference between the Arab and your hero is that whereas the Arab was a pastmaster in spinning stories, Jamsetjce Jcjecbhoy was an adept in spinning out money and scattering it lavishly with wellnigh divine prodigality and largesse." Extract from a letter of Rev. Father L. N. D Serkis, S.J.
