January 13, 1903 Tuesday

January 13 Tuesday – In Riverdale, N.Y. Isabel V. Lyon. Wrote for Sam to Franklin G. Whitmore [MTP].

Mr. Clemens tells me to write you that “Mrs. Clemens says to sell the house for any thing you can get for it—”

Mrs. Clemens is making visible progress; her pulse has gone down to 87 and stays there, and Mr. Clemens sees her once a day for ten or fifteen minutes.

Jean is very much better, but is not yet allowed to sit up [MTP].

Sam’s notebook: “Dr. Rice, 6.16 train” [NB 46 TS 5].
