致黑尔夫人（Mrs. G. W. Hale）
明尼阿波利斯
1893年11月24日
亲爱的母亲：
我仍留在明尼阿波利斯。今日下午有一场讲座，后日即启程前往得梅因。
我抵达此地那日，正值初雪降临，整日整夜大雪纷飞，那双防水套鞋（雨雪靴）着实派上了大用场。我去观看了冰封的明尼哈哈瀑布，景色极为壮美。今日气温零下二十一度，我却乘着雪橇出行，兴致盎然，乐在其中。耳尖与鼻尖略受冻意，我也毫不在意。
此地的雪景令我心旷神怡，胜过此番旅途中所见的任何其他风光。
昨日，我看见人们在一座冰封的湖面上溜冰。
我一切安好。盼此信到时，您与众人亦均安如故。
您忠顺的，
辨喜（Vivekananda）

To Mrs. G. W. Hale
MINNEAPOLIS
24 November 1893.
DEAR MOTHER
I am still in Minneapolis. I am to lecture this afternoon, and the day after tomorrow go to Des Moines.
The day I came here they had their first snow, and it snowed all through the day and night, and I had great use for the arctics. (A waterproof overshoe.) I went to see the frozen Minnehaha Falls. They are very beautiful. The temperature today is 21^o below zero, but I had been out sleighing and enjoyed it immensely. I am not the least afraid of losing the tips of my ears or nose.
The snow scenery here has pleased me more than any other sight in this country.
I saw people skating on a frozen lake yesterday.
I am doing well. Hoping this will find you all the same, I remain,
Yours obediently,
VIVEKANANDA
