January 5, 1910 Wednesday

January 5 Wednesday — Sam sailed “unexpectedly” for Bermuda on the Bermudian. Paine did not accompany him; instead his valet, Claude Benchotte [Paine to Quick Jan 17; D. Hoffman 158]. Note: Paine also had written the Allens that Sam would likely make another trip during the winter to Bermuda; Sam, down with a cold on New Year’s Day, planned to leave on this day for Bermuda, so just how “unexpected” the trip was, it may have seemed so to Paine.
