January 29 Saturday – Sam’s notes in Hyppolyte Taine’s The Ancient Regime (1876) state that he finished reading the book on this day [Slotta 32]. This was a major sourcebook for both P&P and CY (See also Sept. 10 entry).

A.R. Stover wrote to explain that “the information asked for in my last was for one about to read the piece before the public” [MTP]. Note: Sam wrote on the env. “From that same Boston ass”. See Jan. 27.
