To Mrs. Alice (Shanti) Hansbrough

          The Math

          Howrah Dist.,

          Bengal, India

          3rd June 1901

Dear Mrs. Hansbrough__

The contribution of six pounds and three shillings to the Math by the Los Angeles club has duly reached. Swami Brah­mananda will write to you a separate acknowledgement. But as I happen to be here just now and have not had long any direct communication with you, I feel like having a chat with you as of yore, even though it be through the post. Now how are you and the Baby and the holy Trinity and the oldest who brings up the rear?

How are all our Los Angeles friends? Poor Mrs. [Emeline F.] Bowler, I hear, has passed away. She was an angel. Where is Miss Strickney? Please tender her my sincerest love, gratitude and prayers when you meet her next.

How are all the San Francisco friends? How is our Madam1

__the noble, the unselfish? What is she doing now? Quietly gone back to her Home of Truth work?

Are you pleased with Turiyananda and his work? Is the [Shânti] Ashrama progressing?

With everlasting love and blessings,

          Ever yours in the Lord,

          Vivekananda
