From internal evidence it seems that letter No. LIV vas written in the beginning of 1894, for it refers to "Mazoomdar's doings", and cold "making itself scarce by degrees".

The next letter must have been written in March or April 1894, as we infer from the Bengali biography of Swami Akhandananda.

Letter number LVI belongs to the summer of 1894, for it was written after Shri Ramakrishna's festival.

Letter number LXXV belongs most probably to the beginning of 1895, for it gives directions about Shri Ramakrishna's birthday celebration that year; it also speaks of the retreat of winter and refers to certain books to be sent by Sanyal (See letters LIX and LXXIII).

The order of these letters, however, is not altered in the absence of more cogent proof.
