Blessed And Beloved,[1]
Today I received a letter from India written by Abhedânanda that in all
probability he had started on the 11th August by the B.I.S.N.,
"S.S.Mombassa". He could not get an earlier steamer; else he would have
started earlier. In all probability he would be able to secure a passage on
the Mombassa. The Mombassa will reach London about the 15th of September. As
you already know, Miss Müller changed the date of my visiting Deussen to the
19th September. I shall not be in London to receive Abhedananda. He is also
coming without any warm clothing; but I am afraid by that time it will begin
to cool in England, and he will require at least some underwear and an
overcoat. You know all about these things much better than I. So kindly keep
a look out for this Mombassa. I expect also another letter from him.
I am suffering from a very bad cold indeed. I hope by this time Mohin's
money from the Raja has arrived to your care. If so, I do not want the money
I gave him back. You may give him the whole of it.
I had some letters from Goodwin and Sâradânanda. They are doing well. Also
one from Mrs. Bull regretting that you and I could not be corresponding
members of some Society, she is founding at Cambridge. I do remember to have
written to her about your and my non-acquiescence in this membership. I have
not yet been able to write even a line. I had not a moment's time even to
read, climbing up hill and going down dale all the time. We will have to
begin the march again in a few days. Kindly give my love to Mohin and Fox
when you see them next.
With love to all our friends,
Yours ever,
Vivekananda.
