June 15 Sunday  Sam wrote from the Edwards’ Hotel to the American consul general in London, Adam Badeau (1831-1895). Sam sent his and Livy’s regrets they’d been unable to visit due to Livy being “very greatly fatigued because of sight-seeing” [MTL 5: 382]. Notes: Badeau had been on General Sherman’s staff during the Civil War, and the military secretary for General Grant in 1864 [MTL 5: 382]. Thompson’s notes suggest Sam and Thompson visited Westminster Abbey on this day [MTNJ 1: 536n26].
