Charitable Medical Hospital at Alipore, where he breathed his last at 2 P. M. on Sunday, the 29th June, 1873. Nearly a year or two before his death, he was banished from the bosom of his "noblest friend." This was owing to his own intemperate and outrageous habits, which exceeded the bounds of Vidyasagar's patience. Latterly Michael did not at all behave well towards his protector. In one of his letters Vidyasagar had addressed him Babu. Michael refused to receive that letter. Henceforth Vidyasagar had a sort of dislike for the England-returned Indians in general, and tried to keep himself aloof from them.
Before bringing this chapter to its close, we will try to show how intemperate Michael Madhusudana Datta was in his habits and how he took advantage of Vidyasagar's generous liberality, by quoting a letter of his own, addressed to Vidyasagar.
