June 14 Tuesday – At the Villa Reale di Quarto near Florence, Isabel V. Lyon wrote for Sam to Raffaele Simboli. “You will understand that Mr. Clemens is not interested in anything at the present time, his house being a house of mourning” [MTP].
Raffaele Simboli for Nuova Antologia wrote to Sam, asking if he had been sent copies of The Critic, which contained his “article richly illustrated.” Had he rec’d the photos? [MTP]. Note: likely the letter that Lyon replied to, above.
Helen Keller wrote to Sam. “Do try to reach through grief & feel the pressure of her hand, as I reach through darkness & feel the smile on my friends’ lips & the light in their eyes, though mine are closed” [MTP].
