September 29 Friday – Sam wrote from the editorial department of the Century Magazine, Union Square, New York to George W. Cable.

I’ve rushed in here, with 30 minutes to spare before rushing for the Hartford train—but I’ve missed you. Arrived yesterday evening with my whole tribe & 2 cats, from the summer vacation. Shall reach Hartford this evening. A week hence, we shall be all straightened up, there; & then we shall be glad & willing & anxious to see you on any date thereafter [MTP].

The Clemens family took a train from New York to Hartford and home.
