MY DEAR MRS. BULL,
After all I decide to come to Cambridge just now. I must finish the stories I began. The first one I don't think was given back to me by Margo.
My clothes will be ready the day after tomorrow, and then I shall be ready
to start; only my fear is, it will be for the whole winter a place for
becoming nervous and not for quieting of nerves, with constant parties and
lectures. Well, perhaps you can give me a room somewhere, where I can hide
myself from all the goings on in the place. Again I am so nervous of going
to a place where indirectly the Indian Math will be. The very name of these
Math people is enough to frighten me. And they are determined to kill with
these letters etc.
Anyhow, I come as soon as I have my clothes — this week. You need not come
to New York for my sake. If you have business of your own, that is another
matter. I had a very kind invitation from Mrs. Wheeler of Montclair. Before
I start for Boston, I will have a turn-in in Montclair for a few hours at
least.
I am much better and am all right; nothing the matter with me except my worry, and now I am sure to throw that all overboard.
Only one thing I want — and I am afraid I cannot get it of you — there
should be no communication about me in your letters to India even indirect.
I want to hide for a time or for all time. How I curse the day that brought
me celebrity!
With all love,
VIVEKANANDA.
