November 16 Thursday  Sam lectured in City Hall, Portland, Maine  “Artemus Ward.” Sam wrote from Portland to Moses S. Beach, declining an invitation Beach had sent to Livy for the family to stay with the Beaches [MTL 4: 493-4]. Note: It was Mrs. Beach who had disapproved of Sam as a suitor for their daughter Emeline in 1868.

Robert M. Howland wrote to Clemens, his letter not extant but referred to in Livy’s answer of Nov. 20.
