July 6 Sunday  Sam wrote from London to Mary Mason Fairbanks, his letter full of people talk. He wrote about English social life, meeting so many “pleasant people” and “we seem to find no opportunity to see London sights.” Sam’s list of those met: Tom Hughes, Herbert Spencer, Joaquin Miller, Hans Breitmann (Charles Godfrey Leland 1824-1903) William Gorman Wills, Anthony Trollope, Wilkie Collins, Edmund H. Yates (1831-1894), Tom Hood, W.C. Bennett, and Douglas Jerrold Jr. Sam described Lady Hardy as “a very volcano of warm-heartedness & is in a permanent state of irruption.” [MTL 5: 402].
