Twain was in Providence on Sunday, November 16 and in Hartford the following Day. Cable presumably had one or two days at home in Simsbury.” (pg19 Cardwell)  Cable would not have traveled on the 16th, however, as it was the Sabbath.

According to Turner (pg 59), Cable may have met wife his wife in Worcester, MA., writing to her from Boston, November 14:

...Should you feel safe in doing so, & will telegraph me here (Parker House) you can meet me & spend Sunday with me in Worcester.  I cannot get nearer than that to you except by nicking the edge of Sunday.  Cars reach there from Boston at midnight & leave Monday morning at 6 1/2 o'clock.  I shall take them en route for New York...
