October 2 Friday – Sam and Joseph Verey left Arles for Avignon, France [2nd letter to Livy, Sept.28; NB 31 TS 7].

In Ouchy-Lausanne, Susy wrote to Louise Brownell:

At last a lovely letter from you dear, dear Louise! I have waited with sillie impatience hoping for one every mail as if you could reach me from the ocean easily.

As you see we are still unsettled, but expect to be in Berlin by next week. We have been here about two weeks having a little boating on the blue blue lakes. Papa has gone down the Rhone in an open boat enjoying a realy wonderful trip. Aunt Sue and I start ahead of the rest tomorrow and are going to drive over the Brunig once more to try if we can print the picture indellibly on our minds. Aunt Sue counts the possessions so made everlasting to her, over and over again, and rejoices. She still speaks of “her” pine forests at Marienbad and says that the woods here are not so fine. …

Clara is practicing away, cold with fear of playing to Moskowski on trial. I shall be surprised if she does much but break down when the time comes [Cotton 101109-14].
