To Sister Nivedita

HOWRAH DISTRICT, BENGAL,
4 April 1901.
DEAR M
ARGOT,
A letter came just now from Mr. R. Dutt [Ramesh Dutta] praising you and your
work in England very much and asking me to wish you to stop longer in
England.
It requires no imagination to learn that I am overjoyed at all the news
about you Mr. Dutt so kindly sends.
Of course, you stay as long as you think you are working well. Yum [Miss
Josephine MacLeod] had some talk about you with Mother [Holy Mother, Sarada
Devi], and she desired you to come over. Of course, it was only her love and
anxiety to see you — that was all; but poor Yum has been much too serious
for once, and hence all these letters. However, I am glad it should happen,
as I learnt so much about your work from Mr. Dutt, who can't be accused of a
relative's blind love.
I have written to Mrs. Bull already about this matter. I am now at last in
Dacca and had some lectures here. I depart for Chandranath tomorrow, near
Chittagong, the farthest eastern extremity of Bengal. My Mother, aunt,
cousin, another cousin's widow, and nine boys are with me. They all send you
love.
I had just now a few lines from Mrs. Bull, also a letter from Mr. Sturdy. As
it would be almost impossible for me to write for some days now, I ask you
to thank Mrs. Bull for me for her letter, and tell her kindly that I have
just now a long letter from Miss [Christina] Greenstidel of Detroit. She
mentions a beautiful letter from Mrs. Bull. Sturdy writes about the
publication of any further edition of Raja-Yoga by Longmans. I leave that
consideration with Mrs. Bull. She may talk over the matter with Sturdy and
do what she thinks proper.
Please give Sturdy my best love, and tell him I am on the march and will
take time to reply to his letter; in the meanwhile the business will be
looked after by Mrs. Bull.
With everlasting love and blessings,
VIVEKANANDA.
