August 31 Monday – Isabel Lyon’s journal: “John and Isabel Wayland came today” [MTP: IVL TS 62].

James Ross Clemens wrote to Sam, having arrived in South Dartmouth, Mass. and finding Sam’s invitation for him and his wife to visit Stormfield. Unfortunately only he could come and wanted to look in the following Sunday. He would stay overnight [MTP].

Mary B. Hackett wrote from Morristown, NJ to relate what she’d heard in a department store during the Christmas holiday two years before. A woman patron asked for “Eve’s Diary” and was told it must be in the religious section [MTP].
