September 14 Monday – Livy was depressed about leaving Quarry Farm, but was encouraged at Susy’s unselfish instincts in making up a bag of amusements for Jean on the trip. Livy’s diary entry:

We start for New York tomorrow the 15th leaving this beloved Quarry Farm. We expect to spend a few days in New York & then on to Hartford….The blessed child…was doing some thing for the pleasure of some one else [MTP].

Orion Clemens wrote to give some of the statistics on type setting Sam requested [MTP].

Edgar Wilson (Bill) Nye wrote, clipping enclosed of a wood engraving, possibly of himself, because he goes on four pages noting every detail and saying he found this work of art in an “obscene paper” [MTP].
