April – Bookman (London) ran an anonymous review of the Chatto & Windus collection of Mark Twain’s works, commenting on the pleasure in looking again at RI, TS, GA, and LM [Tenney 32].

Current Literature (NY) featured a large photo of Mark Twain “recently taken in London” on its cover though only a short paragraph on p.102 of comment: “The white hair emphasizes his advancing years, but the face is the same strong and kindly one so familiar to Americans” [not in Tenney]. See insert

Grace Reuter wrote from Brussels Belgium to Sam.

Today, I received your two letters [not extant], and also another letter from Mr. Gage, and in view of the circumstances, and with a knowledge of how much good your good opinion of Florizel will do the boy, with the American public, I am strongly tempted to take him back to London for this opportunity alone. [She suggested bringing the boy over Thursday or Friday] …for you to see him and become a little better acquainted with his abilities than you can by a letter [MTP]. Note: see Apr. 28 to Reuter for an exposition of this lad, a prodigy violinist.
