DEAR MOTHER —
I will be ever so much obliged if you kindly look into the "bead" affair. (Rudrāksha beads sent from India. Vide letter dated January 17, 1895 in Complete Works , VI.) I think there will be a little duty to pay. I will pay it to you when I come.
I start from here next week. I will be in Detroit a day or two on my way. I will be in by the third or fourth of August.
With Everlasting love, your Son,
VIVEKANANDA

Herewith I authorize Mrs. George W. Hale to take delivery of the "beads" that have been expressed to me from India. Hoping they will be regularly delivered to her, I remain yours obediently,
