6. I have seen the Library and the pictures of Ravi Varma

BARODA,

26th April, 1892.

DEAR DIWANJI SĀHEB,

Very happy to receive your kind letter even here. I had not the least difficulty in reaching your house from the station of Nadiad. And your brothers, they are what they should be, your brothers. May the Lord shower his choicest blessings on your family. I have never found such a glorious one in all my travels. Your friend Mr. Manibhāi has provided every comfort for me; but, as to his company, I have only seen him twice; once for a minute, the other time for ten minutes at the most when he talked about the system of education here. Of course, I have seen the Library and the pictures of Ravi Varma, and that is about all worth seeing here. So I am going off this evening to Bombay. My thanks to the Diwanji here (or to you) for his kind behaviour. More from Bombay.

Yours in affection,.
VIVEKANANDA.

PS. At Nadiad I met Mr. Manilal Nabhubhāi. He is a very learned and pious gentleman, and I enjoyed his company much.
