In spite of wearisome lecture tours, moving as he was led, Swamiji left Deroit for New York at the end of March. (ND 2.001)
Mar 1894
CE
But before relating what is today known of his life on the East Coast, let us turn back a moment to fill in a blank spot in the story of his midwestern tour. (ND 2.002)

All we know at present of Swamiji’s next week in New York comes through a letter that he wrote to Mrs. Hale on April 10. He was still staying with the Guernseys, but, as he mentions quite casually, had for a few days been a house guest of Miss Helen Gould. He had also been to the circus. (ND 2.019)
Apr 1894
S
Miss Helen Gould was the elder daughter and heiress of one of the richest Mr. Jay Gould. (ND 2.021)

Apr 1894
News reports
The above reference to "unworthy efforts . . . to belittle Swami Vivekananda's brilliant doings" at the Parliament was, of course, to the efforts of, specifically, Mr. Mazoomdar. Over two years later a letter addressed to the editor of the Indian Mirror and dated December 3, 1896, recalled the occasion: "The Calcutta public may remember how he [Mr. Mazoomdar] was frustrated in his malicious attempt by Mr. Dharmapala and a High Priest of Japan, who happened to be in Calcutta at that time. When he was thus exposed before his countrymen, the ignominy of his conduct called forth the denunciation of every right-minded man." (LSV 1.497)
Apr 1894
CE
A letter telling the Swami of this Dharmapala's meeting reached him around July 9 and seems to have been the first news of India's public action on his behalf that he had so far received. (LSV 1.498)
