Mrs. Charles (Mary) Funke

LXXXII
To Mrs. Charles (Mary) Funke
228 W. 39
New York,
the 6th Jan. 1896.
Dear Mrs. Funkey [Funke]--
Many, many thanks for the sweet flowers. It recalls to me the beautiful times we had at the Thousand Islands and presages many such summer gatherings.
The work here had begun in right earnest, and we will advance it farther this year than in the last.
I am therefore uncertain as to the exact date of my coming to Detroit. I will come, however, very soon.
Yours ever in the Lord,
Vivekananda

 

LXXXIX
To Mrs. Charles (Mary) Funke
C/o the Procopeia
45 St., Botolph Street
Boston, Mass.
22nd March '96.
Dear Mrs. Funkey [Funke]--
I had no time to write a line even, I was so busy. I am enjoying Boston immensely, only hard work. The meeting with old friends is very pleasing, no doubt. The so-called class swelled up to 500 people last night and, am afraid, will go on increasing. Everything going on splendidly. Mr. Goodwin as nice as ever. We are all friends here. I go next week to Chicago.
Hope everything is going on well with you there. Kindly give my love to Mrs. Phelps, Mr. Phelps and all the rest of my friends.
With all love and blessings,
Yours,
Vivekananda
