April 22 Wednesday – Isabel Lyon’s journal:  The King, Dorothy, Ashcroft and I went down to the Aquarium today for a little frolic, but the King was very limp, and didn’t stay there very long, for there weren’t the wonderful fish that you see in Bermuda waters. The angel fish cannot live here at all it would seem. The King cosied-up in the corner of the elevated train, and come home to rest for Zoeth and Grace Freeman came to dine and to meet ABP. AB wasn’t very well, and so not very bright, but Grace was scintillating [MTP: IVL TS 447-48].

Caroline Coddington wrote another “crank” letter to Sam, addressing it “Dear Spakers.” She apologized for the “tangled message from ‘Snarles’ sent …last evening” She hoped to see him “ere long and apologize” [MTP].

Ethel Courlander wrote from Croydon, England, enclosing a print (not in file) for Clemens to autograph [MTP].
