August 24 Monday – Joe Twichell wrote from Blue Ridge, NY to Sam, wondering about Sam’s past “invitation” forthcoming for watching a yacht race on Mr. Rogers’ yacht. A newspaper which had reached him “in the heart of the Adirondacks” told of a yacht race, and if his attendance was counted on he would like to write Rogers an apology for being unable to come. He prayed Livy was improving, whom he expressed love for. “The prospect of your expatriation, except as it means benefit to her, is to us extremely dismal. I do wish I might have just a look at her before you go. We shall return to Hartford about the 25th of Sept. You did not say when you were going to sail” [MTP].
