July 1 Sunday – At 30 Wellington Court in London, Sam wrote a postcard to John Y. MacAlister that he could not go to the Savage Club on the 8th. He would try to come by the next day but he might fail to do so as they were about to move and he had to “do a private reading in the afternoon” [MTP].

Sam also wrote to nephew Samuel E. Moffett that they had taken the Dollis Hill house until they sailed in October. Their plans revolved around doctors. Sam thanked his nephew for his help in the matter of locating a suitable osteopath in New York (Dr. George J. Helmer).

“We concluded to remain here, in order that we might see & talk with Dr. Helmer when he comes in August, & let him diagnose Jean’s case & deliver an opinion. If he has doubts, we shall stay here until Kellgren cures her. We have written Helmer” [MTP].

Sam also replied to James B. Pond, asking him to keep the Dollis Hill address private.

“I didn’t see Mrs. Insly, because I don’t see any interviewer when I can escape. I’ll forgive you this time, but don’t send any more to me” [MTP]. Note: Mrs. Insly, likely a reporter or columnist, is unidentified.

Sam also wrote to Mr. Meyers:

This house, out in the country on the edge of town, is our address until October. We go there to-morrow. I have just found a letter [not extant] from you dated May 22. I hope I have answered it, but I don’t remember having seen it before [MTP]. Note: labeled as to “Unidentified” by MTP, but also addressed to Mr. Meyers. Likely Frederic William Myers.

Sam’s notebook: “to-day, call on Andrew Lang, 1 Marloes Road, Kensington W” [NB 43 TS 19].
