September 22, 1902 Monday

September 22 Monday – In York Harbor, Maine: Sam’s notebook: “MONDAY, Sept. 22. Our dear prisoner is where she is through overwork—day & night devotion to the children & me. We did not know how to value it. We know now. / On Sunday the 21st Dr. Helmer came from Vermont. Gave Livy a severe treatment. / Dr. Allen came yesterday & raised our spirits. A marked change followed. / Dr. Putnam this morning. Said no sort of reason she should not become as well as before. He Ordered a nurse & she came. / Recovery begun—very briskly” [NB 45 TS 27-8].
