These letters of Swami Vivekananda are the reflections of his mind. We can only imagine the intense effect they had on the recipient of the letter, some teasing and playful, others dead serious, all of them filled with his intense spiritual fervor. You can see a picture of Vivekananda here that is untouched by any biographer. A first-hand look of a dynamic soul.
