May 31 Monday – Koto House wrote from N.Y. to Sam “(for Mrs. Clemens),” explaining her delays since receiving a telegram from Livy, which invited her to visit before the family left for Elmira. Koto suggested Saturday next (June 5), though was unsure if that would even be possible, though thought it “probable”. There was “a question” between Livy and Miss Goldthwaith (either Charlotte or Jane), who had invited Koto first [MTP]. Note: Koto visited the Clemenses shortly thereafter; the day of her visit is not certain, as she returned to New York on June 5 [Sam to House, June 5].
