Remarks

Swami Nikhilananda, the head of the Hindu Center in New York and a friend of Stieglitz’s niece Elizabeth Davidson, was a guest at Lake George for the entire summer of 1937. On 2 September 1937 Stieglitz wrote to William Einstein that he had some “snaps of the swami” (YCAL). The Swami is not known to have been at Lake George any other time.
