To Mrs. G. W. Hale

DETROIT

February 22, 1894

DEAR MOTHER

I have got the $200 for the engagements, $175 and $117 by private lectures[6]* and $100 as a present from a lady.

This sum will be sent to you tomorrow in cheques by Mrs. Bagley. Today, the banks being closed, we could not do it.

I am going tomorrow to lecture at Ada, Ohio. I do not know whether I will go to Chicago from Ada or not. However, kindly let not Slayton know anything about the rest of the money, as I am going to separate myself from him.

Yours obediently,

VIVEKANANDA.
