BARODA,
26th April,1892.
DEAR DIWANJI SAHEB, (Shri Haridas Viharidas Desai)
Very happy to receive your kind letter even here. I had not the least
difficulty in reaching your house from the station of Nadiad. And your
brothers, they are what they should be, your brothers. May the Lord shower
his choicest blessings on your family. I have never found such a glorious
one in all my travels. Your friend Mr. Manibhai has provided every comfort
for me; but, as to his company, I have only seen him twice; once for a
minute, the other for ten minutes at the most when he talked about the
system of education here. Of course, I have seen the Library and the
pictures of Ravi Varma, and that is about all worth seeing here. So I am
going off this evening to Bombay. My thanks to the Diwanji here (or to you)
for his kind behaviour. More from Bombay.
Yours in affection,
VIVEKANANDA.
PS. At Nadiad I met Mr. Manilal Nabhubhai. He is a very learned and pious
gentleman, and I enjoyed his company much.
