June 30 Saturday – In La Bourboule, France Sam completed the June 29 letter to H.H. Rogers. News had come about the steamer New York having a collision at sea and needing some repairs, and Sam noted it would be unable to sail today. Susy still had the fever in the morning and the only doctor in town said she had no fever, even though Sam took it and found it 102 degrees.

Mrs. Clemens administers medicines of her own, now, & I throw the doctor’s out of the window. His are for constipation; he gives nothing for fever, contending there isn’t any.

There was no more trouble from mobs but he reported rioting “all over France” which he thought would continue until a week after tomorrow’s funeral. He was glad Rogers’ daughter, Mrs. Duff, got home safe [MTP].
