August 13 Sunday – Sam was in Norfolk, Conn. ailing from gout [Aug. 14 to Rogers].

In Dublin, N.H. Isabel Lyon’s Journal: “Jean has been droopy and sad all day. We took a rug and some books and went up into the woods, and I read a delightful article on Carlyle and Newman. Tonight Jean is dining with Mr. and Mrs. Sumner” [MTP TS 88].

Albert R. Halley wrote from Nashville, Tenn. to ask Sam if he would write an introduction for Halley’s book A History of the Divine Comedy [MTP]. Note: not in Gribben.

John Hays Hammond sent a telegram from Gloucester, Mass. to Sam: “Allow Butters to participate in loan as suggested your letter eighth / John Hays Hamnond” [MTP]. Ashcroft circled “loan” and drew a line in pencil down where he wrote “freeze-out” and put his initials under it. Next to “freeze-out” was “?” circled, whether by Ashcroft or another is unclear.
