July 21 Thursday – Herbert Evans wrote from Adelaide, S. Austr. to Clemens, thanking with pleasure Sam’s of Apr. 23. Anecdotes and wishing Clemens long life; a fan letter [MTP].

Charles Dudley Warner wrote from N.H. to Clemens: “The enclosed letter about Anna Dickinson is piteous and explains itself. I cannot do any thing up here, but if I were in Hartford I could I think raise the sum she needs at once. I am ready to chip in to the extent of my means. Do you feel like doing any thing?” [MTP]. Note: letter 27 July in the file from Dickinson to Livy, thanking her profusely shows Clemens did chip in.
