February 6 Sunday – In Hartford Sam accepted an invitation by John M. Holcombe (husband to the woman who had sent the form about Feb. 1 renaming the Darby and Joan Club to the Century Club) to speak briefly. It was “pretty short notice,” Sam wrote but he would be glad to come and “weave a 5-minute discourse out of” the remarks of other speakers [MTP]. Note: No doubt this was the Feb. 22 meeting of the above club, inked into the form; it could not have been the Feb. 8 Yale Alumni Dinner at the Seminary Hall in Hartford, since Sam expected to be in New York on that day. Holcombe was an 1869 Yale graduate [MTNJ 3: 278n177].
