Notes: Miss Emily W. Burbank (ca.1869-1934), NY writer and lecturer, and Miss Florence Mosher, had been a pupil of Leschetizky. Both ladies were friends of Clara and Jean Clemens.

He is a wonderful child too—& how many there are in the world [MTP TS 91-92]. Note: Lyon returned from Boston to Dublin while Sam was now in NY. The intimate conversations shared with Paine contrasts with their later animus.
