June 25, 1904 Saturday

June 25 Saturday – The Clemens party rested at the Grand Hotel Du Quirinal in Rome, Italy [June 26 to Langdon].

Sam’s notebook: “Giving Clara a day of needed rest. Expect to leave for Naples tomorrow noon. / Dr. Baldwin came. He was furious over Kirch’s charge of 7,300 francs for 3 months & 28 days medical attendance. He wrote a harsh letter to Kirch & I got a copy of it” [NB 47 TS 13].

Sebastiano V. Cecchi of Haskard & Co. sent a telegram to Sam and wrote him a letter. In the letter he

quotes the cable: “Rogers cables: = letter received, matter will be attended to=”. He also wrote: “It seems that your wishes in regard to Kirch, will be gratified; a lawyer has telephoned to me to ask who your Advocate is, as he has been charged by the Dr. to approach him on his behalf! I know nothing more for the present” [MTP].
