Dr. Paul Carus

LVIII
To Dr. Paul Carus
19 W. 38th St.,
New York
June [May] 28, '95
Dr. Paul Carus, La Salle, ILL.
Dear Sir,
I am just now in receipt of your letter and will be very happy to join the religions Congress at Toronto. Only, as you are well aware of, the financial means of a "Bhikshu" 92 are very limited. I will be only too glad to do anything in my power to help you and wait further particulars and directions.
Hoping to hear from you soon and thanking you very much for your great sympathy with Buddhistic India.
I remain ever fraternally your,
Vivekananda

 

LX
To Dr. Paul Carus
c/o Miss Dutcher
Thousand Island Park
N. Y.
[June 1895]
Dear Doctor,
I am in this place now and had to change some of my plans on account of the Toronto Congress.
I am therefore not quite sure whether I will be able to come to Oak Island Conference. It is very possible, however, that I will be able to do so.
I also hope Mr. [Charles Carroll] Bonney will come. He is a noble, noble soul--one who sincerely wishes the fellowship of all humanity.
Is it not true, Dr., that Mr. Bonney, as I have every reason to think, originated the plan of the parliament of religions?
I will certainly try my best to come.
Thanking you very much for your kindness, I remain
Ever yours in the Lord of Compassion,
Vivekananda
P.S. Will you kindly inform me what lines of thought you want me to take.
V.
