July 29 Sunday – In New York on Players Club stationery, Sam wrote to Livy, telling about the Fairhaven trip, sailing with Harry Rogers, H.H.’s teen-age son, and of hiding $25 in change then forgetting where he put it. He’d “ransacked this room thoroughly,” but found “no trace of it.” Sam expected to be delayed in N.Y. by Webster & Co. business but the lawyers estimated they’d be done with him in about ten days.

I expect to run up to Hartford this week for a day or two. Don’t you think we can all come home to America when the Etretat season is finished — at least for a while?

Sam also noted he’d answered Poultney Bigelow immediately, and that Mrs. Lilly wrote to say Mrs. Gay was about to sail and wanted to know where Livy would be about September — he’d answered for her [MTP].
