September 8 Sunday – Joe Twichell left Switzerland to return home. Sam saw him off at the station [MTLE 3: 85, 89]. He arranged for Joe to pick up expense money for the trip home, writing from Geneva, Switzerland to Chatto & Windus, asking them to pay ten pounds to Joseph H. Twichell. Sam wrote: “I am compelled to trouble you because the hotel has no English money & the banks are not open here on Sunday” [MTLE 3: 87].

Sam also wrote to Bayard Taylor, asking him to forward Slote’s letter. Sam said the family was “booked for Munich Nov. 10 (for the winter)” [MTLE 3: 88].
