January 29 Wednesday – M. Howard wrote from Richmond, Ind. to Sam, having been “very much entertained” by CS. He disagreed that Christian Science would spread over the world and mentioned past religious fanatical women whose movements failed [MTP].

Homer Saint-Gaudens wrote from Windsor, Vt. on “Estate of Augustus Saint-Gaudens” letterhead to ask Sam for any letters to his late father. He was planning a book and added:

What started me in writing to you was a remark of my Uncle Louis Saint-Gaudens who said that my father had seen a good deal of you when he was in Paris in the early seventies, and that it used to amuse him greatly to watch you smoke cigar after cigar in endless sequence [MTP].

Note: Lyon wrote on the letter, “Tell him with pleasure we let him have the letters which are prize, & that we shall like to have the originals back”
