March 26 Wednesday – Gustavo Sarfatti sent Sam a bill of lading for goods shipped [MTP].

Frank Bliss wrote to Clemens about taking his time with a MS. “It is beginning to be noised about that I am to publish your book.” Frank wanted it kept quiet [MTP]. Note: Sam wrote on the env., “Answered”.

March 26? Wednesday – Sam wrote from Paris to his sister, Pamela Moffett. Sam wrote he’d heard that her son, Samuel Moffett was leaving the good Baroness Freundenberg in Munich and coming to Paris about a month hence. Sam judged that his nephew wouldn’t have a better opportunity to learn the German language than from the Baroness, who had written that Sam Moffett liked to read the language but not write it, and that he had made “great progress” in four weeks. Uncle Sam counseled:

“To speak it, & write it, & never read it, is the right course, to read it is more an injury than a benefit” [MTLE 4: 42].
