December 17, 1909 Friday

December 17 Friday — In Hamilton, Bermuda Sam wrote a Bermuda postcard to Elizabeth Wallace. “Merry Christmas / & affectionate greeting / to Betsy / SLC / Blanche has been close-clipped & looks elegant—even spiritual” [MTP). Note: Maude was the donkey used in the earlier visit; Blanche may have been another.

Sam also wrote, possibly on this day, a postcard with a picture of a Bermuda garden, a scene in “Fairyland” to Frances Nunnally in Atlanta: “Love & Merry Christmas / To Francesca M.A. / SLC” [MTP},
