November 27 Tuesday – Livy’s 43rd birthday – Livy wrote of the day:

I had a very pleasant birthday the children fixed me a very pretty table with flowers and their gifts and we had an exceedingly good time

Sam wrote the following note, perhaps with a gift:

Livy darling, I am grateful — gratefuller than ever before — that you were born, & that your love is mine & our two lives woven & welded together! SLC [LLMT 251].

Webster & Co. per W.E. Dibble wrote to Sam [MTP]. Note: This letter was missing from the file at the MTP; Robert Hirst checked again on my last trip there in Feb. 2009.

James H. Weeks, a dentist in Stonington, Conn. wrote asking Sam for “a few thoughts from your pen and a word of encouragement” for their Monday Reading Circle to study American authors [MTP].
