WIMBLEDON,
8th October, 1896.

DEAR MRS. BULL,

… I met in Germany Prof. Deussen. I was his guest at Kiel and we travelled together to London and had some very pleasant meetings here. … Although I am in full sympathy with the various branches of religious and social work, I find that specification of work is absolutely necessary. Our special branch is to preach Vedānta. Helping in other work should be subservient to that one ideal. I hope you will inculcate this in the mind of Sāradānanda very strongly.

Did you read Max Müller’s article on Ramakrishna? … Things are working very favourably here in England. The work is not only popular but appreciated.

Yours affly.,
VIVEKANANDA.
