November 15 Friday – Sam’s notebook: “Carey & portraits of Wash &c. / Why’nt you go to hell?—no Irish there/ A lie is an abomination [U] / Faith is believing what y’ know ain’t so. [U] / The callant died [?] / Pate de fois gras / May yr hon live till y’ collect it. [C] / The lost trunk—French [C] / What streets have you? [U] / We’ll see two cubs—/ He won’t let me go to par when he can get me at 30 off. [U] / Lightning bug & lightning / Josh” [NB 44 TS 17]. Note: All above items save the last were lined through; an editor’s note at the right margin: “C & U [marks made at right of each item] represent specimens of conscious & unconscious humor” See Nov. 18 & 19 NB entries, where Sam discusses conscious and unconscious humor. Likely William Carey.
