June 5 Saturday – Alfred P. Burbank and wife arrived at the Clemens home for what was probably an overnight visit [June 3 from Burbank].

At 5 p.m., Sam wrote to Edward H. House after Koto House had returned to New York.

Koto is gone — & freighted as usual, with everybody’s hearts. She conquered right & left — Chas. Warner, Miss Price, Mamie Perkins, the Goldthwaites, Miss Corey — everybody; & Jean & the children — which goes without saying [MTP].

Sam also wrote to an unidentified person (photographer) to order a “big half life-size” photograph taken of him “about a year & a half ago” for Livy. Sam asked it be sent with the bill [MTP].

Mrs. Zadel B. Gustafson, poet, journalist, suffragist and world traveler, wrote from Newtonville, Mass. seeking an interview for the London Pall Mall Gazette. Gustafson was a special correspondent for that paper. [MTNJ 3: 229n6]. See May 26 entry from Alden.
