GOPAL LAL VILLA,
BENARES (VARANASI) CANTONMENT,
24th February, 1902.
This morning I got a small American parcel sent by you. (Swami Brahmananda) I have received no letter, neither the registered one you refer to nor any other. Whether the Nepalese gentleman came and what happened — I have not been able to know anything at all about it. To write a simple letter so much trouble and so much delay! . . . Now I shall be relieved if I get the accounts. That also I get who knows after how many months! . . .
Yours affectionately,
VIVEKANANDA.
