3rd October, 1899.

MY DEAR MARY,

Thanks for your very kind words. I am much better now and growing so every day. Mrs. Bull and her daughter are expected today or tomorrow. We hope thus to have another spell of good time—you are having yours all the time, of course. I am glad you are going to Philadelphia, but not so much now as then—when the millionaire was on the horizon. With all love.

Ever your affectionate brother,
VIVEKANANDA.
