June 29 Friday – At 30 Wellington Court in London, Sam replied to John Y. MacAlister’s June 28: “I quite agree with your above suggestions, & say yes, & many thanks to you” [MTP].

Fatout lists a speech for Mark Twain at the Lord Mayor’s Luncheon, London [MT Speaking 667]. Sam’s notebook lists the event but lines it out: LORD MAYOR’S lunch—1.30—? / Savoy—dinner. Dillingham, C.B.?

[NB 43 TS 19]. Note: did he cancel the event or simply line it out as completed?

The London Daily Mail, p.3 announced a “forthcoming lecture on Joan of Arc” by Mark Twain. This may have been a repeat of the talk Sam gave at the Basil Wilberforce home on May 30. No other particulars were found.
