The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda/Volume 8/Epistles - Fourth Series/CIX Rakhal
CIX
To Swami Brahmananda
SRINAGAR, KASHMIR,
30th September, 1897
DEAR RAKHAL,
I understand from a letter of Gopal Dada that you have seen that piece of
land at Konnagar. It seems that that site is rent-free and measures 16
bighas (about 5 acres), and that the price is below eight or ten thousand
rupees. Do what you think best after considering the healthiness and other
factors. In a day or two I shall leave for the Punjab. So don't write any
more letters to me at this address. I shall telegraph to you my next
address. Don't forget to send Hariprasanna. Tell Gopal Dada thus: "Your
health will soon be all right — winter is coming, what fear? Eat well and be
merry." Write a letter to Mrs. C. Sevier at Spring Dale, Murree, as to
Yogen's present state of health, marking on the cover "to await arrival".
Give my love and blessings to all.
Yours affectionately,
VIVEKANANDA.
PS. The Maharaja of Khetri reaches Bombay on the 10th October. Don't forget
to give him an address of welcome.
