April 28 Sunday – Sam was in the Fort Monroe, Va. area.

Isabel Lyon’s journal: “Mrs. Baker came—stricken. Thompson came—pastels. I’m not well” [MTP TS 54].

Dorothy Butes wrote from the Hotel Majestic (NY?) to thank Sam for his “lovely book” JA. She’d been “chuckling over CS and his criticism of Mrs. Eddy’s English.” She offered an anecdote from her Latin class about a classmate, Lorraine, who she described as “about a hundred and sixy pounds, who tries to be kittenish” [MTP].

Leonna Berry Hartley (Mrs. N. Hartley) wrote from Garden City, Long Island to Sam. She wrote that “of course you remember ‘Leonna Berry,” the “Berry” being now a thing of the past…” she had two daughters she would bring to the Actors’ Fair since she’d read Clemens would be there May 8 [MTP].
