June 15 Monday – The family’s plan was to travel to Paris and make a three-day stay there before continuing on to some “French village.” It’s likely they spent one night at Le Havre and left for Paris on this day, given that Sam wrote June 17 from Paris to Frederick J. Hall that they were leaving the city the next day. In Paris they stayed at the Grand Hotel Terminus [June 17 to Hall].

This was the day Sam expected Marshall H. Mallory to make the first payment of $5,000 for purchase of his rights in the Paige typesetter [MTNJ 3: 632n216]. See June 17 entry.
