DEAR JOE,

Just now received your nice long letter. I am so glad that you met and approve Miss Cornelia Sorābji. I knew her father at Poona, also a younger sister who was in America. Perhaps her mother will remember me as the Sannyāsin who used to live with the Thākore Sāhib of Limbdi at Poona.

I hope you will go to Baroda and see the Mahārāni.

I am much better and hope to continue so for some time. I have just now a beautiful letter from Mrs. Sevier in which she writes a whole lot of beautiful things about you.

I am so glad you saw Mr. Tata and find him so strong and good.

I will of course accept an invitation if I am strong enough to go to Bombay.

Do wire the name of the steamer you leave by for Colombo. With all love,

Yours affectionately,
VIVEKANANDA.
