I must bear my own Karma, and that without a murmur. Lord bless you all.
Yours truly,
Vivekananda

Dear Mother {Mrs. George W. Hale},
I came yesterday to this place, and shall remain here a few days. I received in New York a letter from you but did not receive any Interior, for which I am glad, because I am not perfect yet, and knowing the "unselfish love" the Presbyterian priests, especially the Interior has for "me", I want to keep aloof from rousing bad feelings towards these "sweet Christian gentlemen" in my heart.
