March 6 Wednesday – Isabel Lyon’s journal: Letter from Isabel F. Hapgood.

Miss Hapgood came this afternoon to bring a big album (belongs to Dr. Osip Feldman, a Russian) for the King to write in. The King cannot endure that woman & was so glad to have an excuse to stay in bed, but he wrote in the album, & put in one of the photos I made up in Dublin. She was prosy, but I found her interesting, for she has known so many find Russians. I was full of Russian coppers & brasses for I’d been around to my Armenian friend’s shop & found a lot of old pieces there at prices far lower than the prices of their terrible new things, so I got some [MTP TS 34].

George Griswold wrote from Tuxedo Park, NY to Isabel Lyon, acknowledging her note of Mar. 5 covering duplicate copies of the lease, signed by Clemens and his $500 check as first installment of rent [MTP].

W.T. Hall wrote from Dothan, Ala. to Sam, having just found a copy of “Editorial Wild Oats.” Did Sam have any other books not published through Harpers? [MTP]. Note: Lyon wrote:

“Answrd Mch 11 ”
