October 3 Thursday – Near Melbourne, Clara Clemens played two piano solos at a tea given by Mrs. S. McCulloch at Toorak. Livy attended. Sam wrote to H. Walter Barrett of Falk’s Photography, asking him to remove photographs of Livy and Clara from his window [Shillingsburg, “Down Under” 12].

She [Livy] is not used to publicity, & cannot get reconciled to it. / I will snatch this opportunity to thank you for those pictures of me which you sent. They are much the best ones I have ever had [MTP].

Sam’s notebook records £437.13.6 sent to T.A. Dibbs, Commercial Banking Co. of Sydney to forward to H.H. Rogers to pay debts [NB 35 TS 56].

“How to Tell a Story” ran in Youth’s Companion (Sam wrote this piece on Feb. 8, 1894) [LLMT 294n18; Budd, Collected 2: 1003].
