October 1 Wednesday – In York Harbor, Maine Sam wrote to Theodore Weld Stanton in N.Y.C.
“Welcome home! / Mrs. Clemens is slowly recovering from a long & wasting illness, but we believe that a fortnight hence we shall be able to move her to Riverdale, where I shall hope to see you when you can run up” [MTP].
Sam’s notebook: “Wrote G.M. Daniels should probably want the car at York Harbor a week from to-day. Langdon or I would telegraph him meanwhile & name a positive date if we could” [NB 45 TS 98]. Note: George H. Daniels, rail agent; relates to the arrangements to have a special RR car for Livy to be transported back to Riverside.
