April 13 Wednesday – Sam’s notebook: “Princess De Rohan” [NB 47 TS 9].
George Gregory Smith finished his Apr. 12 note. “The Italian Gazette has just come & Caulfield has apparently gone the limit of his possibilities of enthusiasm.” Did Sam think he could get away for a day or two for a trip to Siena to see the Palio? “We leave on Friday at 12.05 & see the prove or trial races on Saturday & the Grand Palio on Sunday to return Monday…I will see you tomorrow Thursday afternoon & talk it over” [MTP].
Harper & Brothers wrote to Sam. Only a small envelope survives [MTP].
