January 7 Wednesday  Sam wrote from Hartford to his mother, Jane Clemens, who had not been well. This was a serious, comforting letter. He wrote that Livy had “been running down & getting weak, in consequence of overwork in re-arranging the house.” Sam planned to take Livy to Elmira to let Livy’s mother nurse her back to health. They would leave the next day, and leave the children behind with the staff, hoping to return in two weeks [MTLE 5: 8].
