We have seen that Swamiji was lecturing outside Chicago too. We have the proof from one of His letter written to Mrs. Woods in whose house He stayed at Salem. Let's read the letter -
October 10, 1893
'Dear Mrs. Tannatt Woods: I received your letter yesterday. Just now I am lecturing about Chicago - and am doing as I think very well - it is ranging from 30 to 80 dollars a lecture and just now I have been so well advertised in Chicago gratis by the Parliament of religions that it is not advisable to give up this field now. To which I am sure you will agree. However I may come soon to Boston but when I cannot say. Yesterday I returned from Streator where I got 87 dollars for a lecture. I have engagements every day this week. And hope more will come by the end of the week.
My love to Mr. Woods and compliments to all our friends.'
Yours truly,
Vivekananda
For some time at least we will be reading about how many dollars or cents He got for His lectures which He was collecting for the work in India.
