1896.

DEAR SIR,

If it be not asking you too much will you kindly drop me a few lines giving me a list of the books on the latest theories about Conservation of Energy and the creation of the Cosmos?

Is there any such theory in modern science that there is a sphere of electricity beyond the sphere of light?

Are electric vibrations finer than those of light? Can the one be transferred to the other?

I would rather have a personal interview with you than a letter, yet I am afraid your time is so fully [?] occupied.

If however it be possible for you to grant me an interview it will be a great kindness to me.

I will suit myself to any time you mention.

With many thanks for last night’s talk at Miss Corbin’s,

I remain yours affly,

VIVEKANANDA.
