Dear Sir:
Thank you for your kind reply.
I have attached a *pdf version of my outline.
My outline is part of a larger description of sanskrit phonology (for my own personal use). Only the historical phonology part is presented. I have left in the Appendixes, of which Appendix B (Time and Place) and Appendix C (Mitanni texts) are not part of the main paper.
If the paper is not suitable for the journal, that’s fine.
I appreciate that before submission some editing will be required – e.g., the sanskrit words in Harvard-Kyoto format will need to be changed, and the cyrillic text may need romanization. I shall also improve on and adjust many of my examples, a number of which are currently taken from the source literature.
I remain grateful for your valuable opinion.

Dear Dr. Benz,
Thank you for your letter. I remember you and I certainly will be willing to have a look at your paper. Please send me a pdf copy to this address. Provided it is not too long, I should be able to give you my impression within two weeks.

Re: papers for Amer.J.Indic Studies
I recently produced a paper describing the phonological development of Sanskrit from late proto-indo-european, that also includes iranian and nuristani developments. While this outline was intended for my own use, it may be of interest to sanskrit scholars.
I wonder whether or not it might be suitable for consideration for the new journal.
Prof.Stella Sandahl suggested I send it to you for your kind consideration – that is, to consider whether or not it is suitable for this new journal.
Would you be willing to have a look at it?
We have met several times and spoken briefly before. I am a physician interested in all aspects of Sanskrit language study.
