March 31 Friday – Hubbard & Farmer bankers & brokers wrote two notes: sold stock and bought J. B. & Y Western @ 45 ½ [MTP]. 

William Thomas St. Clair (1859-1910) wrote offering $10 for Clemens to write him an essay for St. Clair’s lady friend on the subject “How old are you” [MTP]. Note: St. Clair would write twice more in April, pressing his request, and Livy answered his third letter. After teaching high school math and publishing two books on Latin, St. Clair hanged himself. Latin will do such things to a man.

Karl Gerhardt wrote to Sam and Livy with no news to report on their work. They sent their love and a kiss to “baby” [MTP].

John Russell Young wrote that he was coming up to Hartford on Saturday [MTP].
