23 April :
23 Apr 1896 : Talk to Vedanta Class: "Vedanta and Its Prospects in America" at New York
23rd April, 1898 : MY DEAR RAKHAL,
My health was excellent on my return from Sandukphu (11,924 ft.) and
other places; but after returning to Darjeeling, I had first an attack
of fever, and after recovering from that, I am now suffering from cough
and cold. I try to escape from this place every day; but
they have been constantly putting it off for a long time. However,
tomorrow, Sunday, I am leaving; after halting at Kharsana for a day I
start again for Calcutta on Monday. I shall send you a wire after
starting. We should hold an annual meeting of the Ramakrishna Mission,
and also one for the Math. In both the meetings the accounts of famine
relief must be submitted, and the report of the famine relief must be
published. Keep all this ready.
Nityagopal says, managing an English
magazine will not cost much. So let us first get this one out, and we
shall see to the Bengali magazine afterwards. All these points will have
to be discussed. Is Yogen willing to shoulder the responsibility of
running the paper? Shashi writes that if Sharat goes some time to
Madras, they may make a lecture tour jointly. Oh, how hot it is now! Ask
Sharat if G. G., Sarada, Shashi Babu, and others have got their
articles ready.
23rd April, 1900 : MY DEAR MARY,
I ought to have
started today but circumstances so happened that I cannot forgo the
temptation to be in a camp under the huge red-wood trees of California
before I leave. Therefore I postpone it for three or four days. Again
after the incessant work I require a breath of God's free air before I
start on this bone-breaking journey of four days.
Margot insists in
her letter that I must keep my promise to come to see Aunt Mary in
fifteen days. It will be kept — only in twenty days instead of fifteen.
By that I avoid the nasty snowstorm Chicago had lately and get a little
strength too.
Margot is a great partisan of Aunt Mary it seems, and other people besides me have nieces and cousins and aunts.
I start tomorrow to the woods. Woof! get my lungs full of ozone before
getting into Chicago. In the meanwhile keep my mail for me when it comes
to Chicago and don't send it off here like a good girl as you are.
