March 1 Tuesday – Elmira College Club wrote to Sam that his annual dues of $1 per year had not been received [MTP]. Note: “Sent 2.00.”
March 1, after – Isabel V. Lyon wrote a note for Sam to Livy concerning a Feb. 29 letter received from Miss Emily Katherine Bates.
Dear Mrs. Clemens. / Mr. Clemens wishes me to ask if you remember this lady. He wishes me to say that his idea is to tell her there is much illness here, but that when she comes to Florence, if she will call some one will be glad to see her.
[OLC’s reply:]
Dear Miss Lyons, / yes, I remember her well & we shall be glad to see her when she passes through F. if we are well enough. Probably it will be well to make a truthful statement of the illnesses & not minify them. / If she tells us when she is to be here we can perhaps appoint a time to see her [MTP].
