May 18 Friday – Sam spent two days in London. Mary Anderson’s agent offered him £2,000 to lecture ten nights in London, but he declined because the season was over in three weeks and there’d be no time to advertise. He promised to consider a fall or winter engagement including a few two-night stands in other cities. He tried to locate Rogers’ daughters at the Brown Hotel, Mrs. Cara Rogers Duff and May Rogers, in order to deliver a letter sent them by Mrs. Rogers and a brooch belonging to May. The people at Brown’s Hotel expected the Rogers sisters, but they had gone on to Switzerland, as Sam discovered when arriving in Paris the next day [May 22 to Rogers].
