November 3 Tuesday – The Clemens family was at sea on the Princess Irene en route for Naples, Italy (Some secondary sources report this as the arrival day for the Clemens family at the Villa Reale di Quarto, in Castello, outside of Florence, but the NB entries contradict this. The NY Times article announcing Livy’s death would give their arrival date in Florence as Nov. 8 [June 7, 1904, p.7].
Sam’s notebook: “at sea. / These squaws keep up their clatter under our ports, quite indifferent to the fact that they are torturing an invalid & making rest & sleep impossible for her” [NB 46 TS 23].
