September 10, 1878 Tuesday

scott 19 January 2023

September 10 Tuesday – Sam wanted to show Livy some of the best scenery of his latest excursion with Joe. His notebook: “Started to Chamonix with 2 horse-wagon, 9.30 [AM]” [MTNJ 2: 177]. They may have stopped in Chambéry, France. “As soon as you strike French territory out of Geneva you find the road strewn with crosses & beggars” [177].

Editor Note
Chambéry, France is very much out of the way. Sam and Livy probably did just has he says, a quick 2-horse round trip to Chamonix. They wouldn't have been in Chambery until the 14th.
