October 1 Sunday – Sam completed the letter, full of estimates, calculations and budgets he began Sept. 30 to Karl Gerhardt. He wrote they “just had our first brief glimpse of Twichell,” who returned from a three-month trip to Europe. Twichell had visited the Gerhardts in Paris.

He had the impression that you are making splendid progress: but he also aroused our solicitude by saying, “Gerhardt is probably working too hard—a good deal too hard, I think, from his worn & harassed look” [MTP].
