56. I have become an awful vegetarian now

DEAR JOE JOE,

‌

I shall be only too glad to come to lunch on Friday and see Mr. Coit at the Albemarle.

‌Two American ladies, mother and daughter, living in London came in to the class last night—Mrs. and Miss Netter. They were very sympathetic of course. The class there at Mr. Chamier’s is finished. I shall begin at my lodgings from Saturday night next. I expect to have a pretty good-sized room or two for my classes. I have been also invited to Moncure Conways’s Ethical Society where I speak on the 10th. I shall have a lecture in the Balboa Society next Tuesday. The Lord will help. I am not sure whether I can go up with you on Saturday. You will have great fun in the country anyway, and Mr. and Mrs. Sturdy are such nice people.

‌With love and blessings,
VIVEKANANDA.

‌PS. Kindly order some vegetables for me. I don’t care much for rice—bread will do as well. I have become an awful vegetarian now.

‌V.
