19 WEST 38th STREET,
NEW YORK, August, 1895.
BELOVED RAKHAL,
. . . I am now in New York City. The city is hot in summer, exactly like Calcutta. You perspire profusely, and there is not a breath of air. I made a tour in the north for a couple of months. Please answer this letter by return of post to England, for which I shall start before this will have reached you.
Yours affectionately,
VIVEKANANDA.
