January 30 Tuesday – Sam finished his Jan. 27 to 30 letter to Livy:

To-morrow (Tuesday) I will add a P.S. if I’ve any to add; but whether or no I must mail this to-morrow, for the mail steamer goes next day.

5.30 p.m. Great Scott!, this is Tuesday! I must rush this letter into the mail instantly.

Just been over to blow up the Century people. Evidently they have neglected to send you the lacking $2,000. It’s too late for tomorrow’s mail, but it will start Saturday.

I love you, I love you, I love you, dear Sweetheart, & shall think of you all day Feb. 2d [their anniversary] [MTP].

Sam enclosed four short invitations he’d received (from Emma Rapallo, Nanni Laffan, Gertrude Cowdin, Robert Reid, and Stanford White) adding “I send these because you need something to read, dearheart.”
