July 20 Thursday – In Krankenheil-Tölz, Germany Sam wrote to Henry C. Robinson in Hartford.

Apparently we can score another for The Club! Once more there’s been people fishing for Bishops there & failed to land the game. Why don’t they let us alone? It is enough to make us all uneasy; there is no telling which of us they will go for next. The family try to soothe me down & make me think there is no danger, but that is easily said — being certain about it is a very different thing.

I am glad you didn’t let Dr. Hart get away. Neither town, College nor Club could have afforded that.

Sam, advised they were in the village of Krankenheil for “a few weeks,” for Livy to take the baths. He wrote that “the highest expert authority in Europe,” proclaimed nothing the matter with Livy that couldn’t be cured [MTP]. Note: the club matters may have to do with the Hartford Club.
