An instance of the Swami's straightforwardness may be cited from one of his February 1894 lectures in Detroit: ( LSv 1.462)
1894
CE
Started facing great controversy at Detroit. (LSV 1.464)
9 Mar 1894
CE
What followed was Swamiji's reappearance on March ninth after a two-week absence. This was an unscheduled visit neither planned by Swamiji nor expected by the missionaries. To all intents and purposes, Swamiji had left Detroit for good, possibly to return to India. Thus his reappearance must have come as a shock to many of his adversaries. He was greeted by various articles and letters in the Detroit newspapers, which reflected the general excitement over the return of the warrior monk. (ND 1.399)

S
There was certainly no inattention that Sunday night, and it might be said that his words became a part of the mental convictions of many who heard him. True, perhaps only a thousand or so heard that lecture, but a handful of people with firm convictions provided that those convictions coincide with truth can slowly change the thought of a nation. Moreover, Swamiji's words were spread through the medium of the press, not only in reports but in editorials. (ND 1.416)
12 Mar 1894
News reports
The Evening News, one of the most widely read papers in Detroit, which had earlier been hostile to him, printed an article on March 12 entitled, "A Pointer for the Missionaries." (ND 1.417)
12 Mar 1894
News reports
A large portion of this editorial was later reprinted by the Boston Evening Transcript of April 5, 1894, and thereby found its way into volume four of the Complete Works, where it was included under the title "Is India a Benighted Country?" (ND 1.417)
12 Mar 1894
CE
The letter written by Occidental on March 10, is so palpably malicious and befuddled that no comment is called for. One thing, however, is clear: Swamiji's second visit to Detroit was not welcomed by everyone. (ND 1. 407)
Mar 1894
CE
At this time, given address book by Mrs. Sherman- the married daughter of Mrs J.J. Bagley (ND 1.427, 2.18)
12 Mar 1894
Notes
The equally vehement opposition was represented by "Occidental," whom readers will remember as a friend of the missionaries who did not deem it necessary to hear Swamiji speak in order to judge him. Occidental appears, to say the least, somewhat fanatical; yet one cannot on this account ignore his letters, for they were as representative of contemporary thought as were the writings of Deldoc. (ND 1.404)
12 Mar 1894
News reports
The following letter was written by Occidental on March 10, the day after Swamiji's return to Detroit, and appeared in the Free Press of March 12 : (ND 1.404)

Mar 1894

Whether Swamiji was aware of this "chance" or not, he gave a very clear answer to the leading Catholic clergyman of Detroit in the lecture he delivered at the Auditorium on Monday evening, March 19, (ND 1. 441)
Mar 1894
News reports
Report appeared in both the Journal and the Tribune of March 20. Unfortunately, for it is all we have of this lecture on Buddhism, the report was short. The following is from the Tribune: (ND 1.441)
Mar 1894
S
This lecture on Buddhism had been advertised as Swamiji's "farewell lecture," which he no doubt intended it to be, for on March 20 he had an engagement at Bay City, and on March 21 one at Saginaw, relatively small cities in Michigan not far from Detroit. But before he left Detroit Swamiji evidently had to promise his friends to come back as soon as he had filled his out-of town engagements (which will be dealt with in a later chapter). (ND 1.443)
Mar 1894
CE

Letter
At the peak of his success as a lecturer the Swamiji was getting "fed up"! This paradox is explained in another letter to the Hale sisters written three days later: (LSv 1.469)
15 Mar 1894
Letter
It would appear that for a while the Swamiji thought of leaving America. Continuing in the same letter he wrote, "However, I shall come back to Chicago for a day or two at least before I go out of this country." (LSv 1.469)
