MURREE,
10th October, 1897.
DEAR SARADA,
I am sorry to learn from your letter that you are not doing well. If you can
make an unpopular man popular, then I call you a clever fellow. There is no
prospect of work there in the future; it would have been better had you gone
rather to Dacca, or some other place. However, it is a good thing that the
work will close in November. If you get very badly off in health, you should
better come away. There is much field for work in the Central Provinces; and
even without famine, there is no lack of poverty-stricken people in our
country. Wherever it is, if you can choose a site with an eye to prospect,
you are sure to turn out good work. However, be not sorry. What one does has
no destruction — no, never. Who knows, at that very place the future may
reap golden results.
I shall very soon begin my work in the plains. I have now no need of
travelling over the mountains.
Keep watch over your health.
Yours affectionately,
VIVEKANANDA.
