U.S.A.,
1894.

DEAR GOVINDA SAHAY,

… Honesty is the best policy, and a virtuous man must gain in the end. … You must always bear in mind, my son, that however busy or however distant, or living with men however high in position I may be, I am always praying, blessing, and remembering everyone of my friends, even the humblest.

Yours, with blessings,
VIVEKANANDA.
