In a letter dated February 17 he wrote to his friends in India that he had succeeded in rousing the very heart of American civilization. This was literally true; thousands of all classes had not only heard his message, but had actually proclaimed themselves as his disciples.

Notes
By the by, India had better at once make clear her title to the ownership of the Swami. They are about to write his biography for the national Encyclopaedia of the United States of America, thus making of him an American citizen. The time may come when, even as seven cities disputed with each other for the honour of having given birth to Homer, seven countries may claim our Master as theirs, and thus rob India of the honour of producing one of the noblest of her children.
