March 30 Friday – At the Brighton Hotel in Paris France Sam wrote to Henry H. Rogers. A cablegram had not yet come about the arrival of Rogers’ daughters, Mrs. Cara Rogers Duff and May Rogers. Jean Clemens had suffered a scalding accident on her leg. Sam had his ticket to sail on Apr. 7, again on the SS New York. Sam also wrote he had seen George Franklin Southard and James G. Macgowan, partner and manager respectively in Bedford et Compagnie, a company which acted on behalf of Standard Oil Co. with a refinery at Rouen. If “social duties” gave him a chance, Sam would go there again.

Livy had received Rogers’ letter, and:

…was mightily pleased. She wants to go home for the summer but the doctor forbids. She is improving decidedly now under the electrical treatment [MTHHR 51].
