April 16 TuesdaySam’s notebook: “Mr. Enos—evening Social Club All Clemenses” [NB 44 TS 8].

In N.Y.C., Sam wrote a “NOTICE!” to Frank Bliss, explaining he could allow “copying-privileges” only when Bliss wanted, regardless of what Sam said, since he was obliged to say yes as a rule “as a trade-courtesy” [MTP].

Sam also wrote to Emilie R. Rogers (Mrs. H.H. Rogers), agreeing to “come & feed & play,” though Livy could not, as she had “a freshet of country cousins due to break on her Wednesday evening” [MTP]. Note: it is assumed that Sam went to visit and dine with the Rogerses on the following day.
