May 5 Sunday – In Paris Sam wrote to Chatto & Windus. He’d received “that little book” and thanked them (title not given). He announced they would sail from Vancouver, B.C. on Aug. 16 and begin reading in Sydney or Melbourne in September, then reach India in mid-January, 1896. Livy and daughter Clara would accompany him. He asked if they would have Samuel Gardner & Co., tailors “get those two overcoats & ship them,” to Southampton before it sailed the next Saturday, May 11. He added a PS that his address in the US would be Elmira, NY until July 11 [MTP].
