July 8 Wednesday – The Clemenses were in Cape Town, S. Africa, probably sightseeing. Sam received a postcard from Poultney Bigelow who was at Delagoa Bay. In the evening Sam dined at the Castle of Good Hope with General W.H. Goodenough, and probably Mrs. Anna Goodenough, whom he gave an inscribed photograph of himself to during the voyage on the Norman (see on or after July 15) [July 9 to Bigelow]. Note: Lt. General Goodenough was commander-in-chief of British forces in S. Africa until 1898.
