BAGHBAZAR,
CALCUTTA,
21st March, 1889.
RESPECTED SIR, (Shri Pramadadas Mitra)
It is several days since I received your last letter. Please excuse the delay in replying, which was due to some special reasons. I am very ill at present; there is fever now and then, but there is no disorder in the spleen or other organs. I am under homeopathic treatment. Now I have had to give up completely the intention of going to Varanasi. Whatever God dispenses will happen later on, according to the state of the body. If you meet brother Jnanananda, please tell him not to be held up there in expectation of my coming. My going there is very uncertain. My regards to you and Jnanananda.
Yours sincerely,
VIVEKANANDA.
