September 12 Tuesday – Isabel Lyon’s journal:

Jean—Bathroom, 10 AM. Mr. Clemens has been in bed all day living on toasts and gruels and he is nervous. The indigestion seems better but its traces remain. A letter came today from Col. Harvey in which he said that he showed the letter Mr. Clemens wrote, in response to the invitation to the banquet to the Russians, to Mr. Witte. He couldn’t read it—so it was translated for him and he asked for it to take it back to Russia to his Czar [MTP TS 96].

Ralph W. Ashcroft wrote on Koy-Lo Co. letterhead to Sam—more on Plasmon matters, his talk with Edward Lauterbach, Hammond’s handing Ashcroft’s letters unread to Harold Wheeler, and John Stanchfield’s desire to see Clemens before doing anything on the Henry Butters case [MTP].

Isabel Lyon’s Journal noted another attack: “Jean, Bathroom, 10 A.M.” [Hill 116].
