September 28 Thursday – The Clemens family left Elmira and traveled to New York for their eventual return to Hartford. The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western depot was in Hoboken, New Jersey; passengers had to ferry from Hoboken to New York. Sam registered the family at the Brunswick Hotel in New York. He’d requested a man from the hotel go to Hoboken to look after the family’s baggage [MTNJ 2: 506]. In his notebook, Sam likened some of the colored glass design motif in the Brunswick to a tapeworm [MTNJ 2: 508n250].
