*To Mr. E. T. Sturdy*▶

GRAND HOTEL, VALAIS, SWITZERLAND.▶

BLESSED AND BELOVED,▶

. . . I am reading a little, starving a good deal, and practising a good deal more. The strolls in the woods are simply delicious. We are now situated under three huge glaciers, and the scenery is very beautiful.▶

By the by, whatever scruples I may have had as to the Swiss-lake origin of the Aryans have been taken clean off my mind. The Swiss is a Tartar *minus* a pigtail. . . .▶

Yours ever affectionately,▶

VIVEKANANDA.▶
