February 13 Sunday – Sam again attended services at the Lafayette Presbyterian Church, Rev. Grosvenor W. Heacock, minister. This time Livy accompanied him [Reigstad 130].

Sam wrote from Buffalo to Mary Mason Fairbanks, and Livy added her comments.

We are glad you printed that graceful account of our wedding & our Surprise—we were glad enough to have you do it, because you know how such things should be done—but I made a special request (for Livy’s sake) of all the other writers present, at the wedding, that they put all they had to say into one stickfull, & leave out the adjectives [MTL 4: 70]. Note: Mary’s account of the Clemens’ wedding ran in the Cleveland Herald (her husband’s newspaper) on Feb. 7.
