June 4 Tuesday – Sam moved his den to “the very pinnacle of the Kaiserstuhl 1400 or 1500 feet up in the air above the Schloss Hotel, & 1700 above the Rhine Valley—which it overlooks” [MTLE 3: 64]. (See entry of June 16; letter to Warner).

From Sam’s notebook: “Rented & paid for a room for a month at the pretty little Wirtschaft under the Königstuhl” [MTNJ 2: 94].

Bayard Taylor wrote to Sam, having just rec’d his letter. “I take it for granted that you are still at the Schloss-Hotel, enjoying the Aussicht. I have your Ersuch wegen dem Pass noch nicht durch den Manheimer Consul empfangen…” [MTP]. Note: Google translation: “Not yet received beseech because of the pass through the Consul Manheimer.”
