November 21 Saturday – In New York City Sam wrote to Livy after telling Webster to send her a telegram that he was planning on spending Thursday and Friday (Nov 26-7) at home, taking “the 11 oclock train, reaching Hartford at 2.21.” Sam thought he might be able to stay home until Monday (Nov. 30) but was unsure. He was just on his way to Fred Grant’s and would “stop in & hurry up Mrs. Wheeler [Candace Wheeler] on the way” [MTP].

November 21 or 22? Sunday – MTP marks Sam’s letter to Orion as either day. Sam enclosed a letter from Kibbry Greening (Tabitha “Puss” Quarles Greening) in Hunnewell, Mo., asking him to answer it, as he was “home for only a day” [MTP]. If Sam did run up to Hartford on either of these days, it wasn’t mentioned in his Nov. 21 letter to Livy. It could be the letter was later, say Nov 26-29.
