CHANDANBARI, KASHMIR
[EN ROUTE FROM SRINAGAR TO AMARNATH]
[End of July 1898]
I send back the old Dandi (A simple palanquin.) as it is difficult to carry
it through. I have got another like Margaret's. Please send it back to the
Tahsildar of Vernag, Khand Chand, Esq., whom you already know. We are all
right. Margot has discovered some new flowers and is happy. There is not
much ice so the road is good.
Yours affectionately,
VIVEKANANDA
P.S. Keep this Dandi till I come and pay the coolies (2) 4 Rs., 2 annas
each.
