165. Two great Englishmen gave up their lives for us—us the Hindus.
THE MATH, BELUR,
11th Dec., 1900.
DEAR JOE,
I arrived night before last. Alas! my hurrying was of no use.
Poor Captain Sevier passed away, a few days ago—thus two great Englishmen gave up their lives for us—us the Hindus. This is martyrdom if anything is. Mrs. Sevier I have written to just now, to know her decision.
I am well, things are well here—every way. Excuse this haste. I will write longer ere long.
Ever yours in truth,
VIVEKANANDA.
