April 19 Sunday – In Hartford Sam wrote again to Livy at the Radnor House, Bryn Mawr College, Penn.

Well, sweetheart, I hope you & Susy are satisfied with yourselves, going away & leaving people this way. I don’t think much of it.

Still, I will write you a line — just a line to say all are well. I am vaguely conscious that young girls by twos & threes flit in & out, & sit around & chat & laugh, & sometimes I am conscious of Clara’s voice & catch the remark “G’won, Weeja!”

Sam had learned “a new way to fall off” the bicycle, which he thought was “the cussedest thing to tame,” doubly difficult from the “old high wheel.” After his signature he PS’d that he’d just received her note and thought it “mighty shabby” the class or the college hadn’t taken “any pains” about her stay. Ned Bunce had just arrived [LLMT 259].
