August 24 Friday – Isabel Lyon’s journal: “Dentist—a new gentile tooth. / The King returned this evening. He came in gay & jolly & darling, & full of his yachting trip to Bar Harbor & Mrs. Harry, & the joy of living. Sly, he was, & like a boy fresh from his wild oats” [MTP TS 109].

Frank N. Doubleday wrote to Sam announcing “Two copies of #11 &12 of THE BOOK go to you by express today.” He hadn’t heard back about the “fine bindings on the first 10 copies” of “What is Man?”

In Dublin, N.H. Sam replied to Frank N. Doubleday’s Aug 24 to point out that “a line had been left out at the bottom of page 131 / Can’t it be written with a pen & thus added to the 260 copies? I think that would answer quite well” [MTP].

Katharine Boland Clemens (Mrs. James Ross Clemens) wrote from Long Island, NY to Sam.

“My dear Cousin Sam, / I am sending you a photo of the children, so you can become acquainted with the younger generation of the family. I do not think I have ever thanked you for the nice letter you wrote me last summer. We appreciated it so much. We have kept the Courant with all your good times abroad. I am making an interesting scrap book of all the clippings from English and American papers, about you, and some about Clara.” She wished they might meet while living in that part of the country [MTP].

B. Butler Boyle wrote on The Boyle Agency, NYC (Vaudeville and Dramatic) to suggest to Sam a “tour in vaudeville” [MTP].
