BAGHBAZAR,
CALCUTTA,
28th November, 1888.

DEAR SIR,

I have received the book of Pānini which you so kindly sent me. Please accept my gratitude for the same.

I had an attack of fever again—hence I could not reply to you immediately. Please excuse. I am ailing much. I am praying to the Divine Mother to keep you happy physically and mentally.

Your servant,
VIVEKANANDA.
