July 8, 1904 Friday

July 8 Friday – The Clemens party was en route in the Prince Oscar from Naples to New York.

Sam’s notebook: “A wonderful day. Brilliant sun, brilliant blue water, strong & delightful breeze. In middle of Gulf Stream. Temperature of water, 73 1/2° Fahr. We had such days in the Indian Ocean, & Livy so enjoyed the exaltation of spirit they produced” [NB 47 TS 15].

Chatto & Windus wrote to Sam, with “the pleasure of enclosing you a statement of the sales of your books for the past six months, ending June 30, and one Edition de Luxe, which includes vol. 23.” Their cheque for £158.13.0 was enclosed [MTP].
