November 2 Friday – From the Brighton Hotel in Paris, Sam wrote to H.H. Rogers. He described the move from Rouen (see Oct. 31) and gave the rest of the letter to a discussion of the typesetter; he’d received the Chicago report on the machine’s progress upon arriving in Paris. The report evidently showed some shortcomings, for Sam wrote:

It seems a pity they didn’t put the old machine in, instead of the new one, for it was in good & sound condition, I think.

Sam ended with a note that he “was going out flatting, now,” (apartment hunting) [MTHHR 89-90].
