October 25 Friday – The annual Cotillion Ball of the Tuxedo Club was held and the New York Times reported the event, Oct. 26, p.11. If Sam attended, as his letter of Oct. 23 to “Miss Anonyma” shows, he would have had to have returned from 21 Fifth Ave. for the event, since he moved back on Oct. 24. No mention of him was made in the Times article, though H.H. Rogers, Jr. (Harry) and wife Mary were listed, so he likely  canceled plans to attend, returning to his N.Y.C. house. Possibly the events at the Knickerbocker Trust Co. led to the changed plans. Also in his Oct. 28 letter to Nunnally he wrote that Miss Lyon and servants returned to Fifth Ave. “late Saturday,” or Oct. 26. 

Isabel Lyon’s journal: “Today over my solitary tea I read a very interesting article on Energy by William James” [MTP TS 119].

Howard O. Wood wrote from NYC to invite Sam to speak at the Brooklyn Union League Lincoln Birthday dinner the next year [MTP]. Note: Lyon wrote for Sam on the letter, “I don’t go”

Clemens A.D. for this day is listed by MTP.
