November 12 Wednesday – Sam and Cable gave a reading in Rumford Hall, Waltham, Mass. [MTPO].

Sam wrote from Lowell, Mass. to Livy:

Livy Darling, only a word, to say I have not heard from you since I left you stricken & lonely in the forever accursed town of Springfield—the only town where we have suffered a defeat. I have not heard from you, & it has depressed me all day. It is now midnight, & has been a hard day. Good night my love. Sam [MTP].

Interview: The Boston Herald, p.4, under “Notes” printed Sam’s “comic remarks …as a way of generating free publicity.” Sam joked about the longish nature of joint readings.
