November 18, 1902 Tuesday

November 18 Tuesday – Sam gave daughter Jean the following book, which she inscribed with her name and this date: Arthur Radclyffe Dugmore’s Nature and the Camera. How to Photograph Live Birds and Their Nests, Animals, Wild Game [Gribben 205].

Sam’s notebook: “Strachey dinner 8 p.m. Arr. Grand Central at 8. Col. Harvey 1 W. 72d” [NB 45 TS 34].

As entered in his NB, Sam attended a dinner honoring Mr. Strachey, likely at George Harvey’s. William Dean Howells was also there [MTHL 2: 751n2 for Nov. 19: NB 45 TS 34]. Note: See Nov. 19 from Howells. The NY Times identifies: John St. Loe Strachey (1860-1927), editor of The London Spectator [Nov. 16, 1902, “Luciana Aground in Lower Bay,” p. 8], although the Times gets it wrong as “St. Leo.”
