9th Dec., 1896.
DEAR MRS. BULL,
It is needless to express my gratitude at your most generous offer. I don't want to encumber myself with a large amount of money at the first start, but as things progress on I will be very glad to find employment for that sum. My idea is to start on a very small scale. I do not know anything yet. I will know my bearings when on the spot in India. From India I will write to you more details about my plans and the practical way to realise them. I start on the 16th and after a few days in Italy take the steamer at Naples.
Kindly convey my love to Mrs. Vaughan and Saradananda and to the rest of my
friends there. As for you, I have always regarded you as the best friend I
have, and it will be the same all my life.
With love and blessings,
Yours,
VIVEKANANDA.
