September 23 Sunday – Sam’s notebook: “La Roche Francis 6 pm./ Mr. & Mrs. Lart 5 pm.” [NB 43 TS 26]. Note:  Claude de La Roche Francis, author of the 1902 London Historic and Social.

At Dollis Hill House in London, England Sam finished his Aug. 20 letter to John Tatlock, which he perhaps mislaid since:

September 23. Meantime, a ship has been chartered, & date filed: the “Minnehaha” of the Atlantic Transport line, October 6. She is 16,000 tons & does it in 10 days. ( I am bringing my conscience over).

We are packing now [MTP].
