To Swami Brahmananda
LAHORE,
15th November, 1897.
MY DEAR RAKHAL,
I hope you and Hari are now in good health. The work in Lahore went off with great éclat. Now I go to Dehra Dun. The Sind tour is postponed. I have yet no news whether Dinu, Latu, and Krishnalal have reached Jaipur. Babu Nagendranath Gupta will collect subscriptions and donations from here and send them to the Math to meet expenses. Send him regular receipts. Let me know if you have received anything from Murree, Rawalpindi, and Sialkot.
Reply to me C/o Post Master, Dehra Dun. Other letters you may send me after
hearing from me from Dehra Dun. My health is good; only I have to get up at
night once or twice. I am having sound sleep; sleep is not spoiled even
after exhausting lectures; and I am doing exercise every day. . . . There is
no trouble at all. Now, come on, work with redoubled energy. Keep an eye on
that big piece of land — in all secrecy. We are making regular efforts so
that big Utsava (Celebration — of Shri Ramakrishna's birthday.)can be held
there. My love to all.
Yours affectionately,
VIVEKANANDA.
PS. It will be a very good thing if Master Mahashay will write now and then
about us in The Tribune, so that Lahore will not become cold again — now it
is quite warmed up. Spend money a little economically; pilgrimage expenses
should be borne by you personally; preaching and propaganda expenses should
be charged to the Math.
