January 31 Friday – Sam wrote from Washington, D.C. to Emma Beach saying he had:

“not been out of the house since I came home, & have not left the writing table, except to sleep, & take my meals. I have written seven long newspaper letters & a short magazine article in less than two days.”

He described a “scorcher” he received from MrsFairbanks and asks Emeline’s help remembering paintings they’d seen on the excursion [MTL 2: 171].
