June 27 Wednesday – Sam’s notebook: “J.L. Adams & Mr. Cadenhead 11. / Mr. Provand, M.P. Will meet us in the Lobby 4 to 4.30. / Tea on House of Commons Terrace. / Mrs. Hincks, 7.30? / Central London RR Opening. Meet in the Booking Hall at the Bank Station at 2.30. Train leaves at 3” [NB 43 TS 19].

At 30 Wellington Court in London, Sam wrote to Franklin G. Whitmore, to thank and assure that they would “partake of your hospitality when we come.” The date of their return to America was still indefinite. He knew the ceilings in the Farmington Ave. house would have to be repaired before they could occupy, but their plan was to spend the fall and winter in New York. He would not pay for “that embroidery from Bacon,” as he did not order it. He furnished the new Dollis Hill House address, and hoped that he would move “in a day or two” [MTP]. Note: the Bacon reference is unknown. July 2 was the move-in date.
