September 24 Sunday– In Sanna, Sweden Sam wrote to Andrew Chatto, asking him to reach Madame Dreyfus, suggesting she see Kellgren to “bring back health & strength to her husband.” Sam claimed to have spent 20 minutes each morning for the past ten weeks in Dr. Jonas Henrick Kellgren’s “work-room watching him perform upon his patients,” and that he made some 7,000 words of notes. He told of Nathaniel Rothshchild, the daughter of Mr. Cohen, Miss Schuhmann (“the daughter of the Schuhmann”), Frau von Kopff, and Poultney Bigelow—all “cured” by Kellegren. “Cannot you & M. Zola get this conveyed to Madame Dreyfus, by translation or otherwise?” [MTP].
