July 28 Wednesday – Helen Buckingham Mathews (“H.B. Mathers”) wrote to Sam, so “delighted” with TA that she asked if he might “see your way to giving us poor Britishers a mouthful at a time, say in a series of papers or letters …over a few months?” [Vassar]. Note: Mathews (Mathers) was an author in her own right.
July 28 or 29 Thursday – Sam wrote for baby Jean Clemens to his mother Jane Clemens and signed it “Lovingly your grand-daughter and / Name child / Jane Clemens” [MTLE 5: 138].
