October 6 Tuesday – A travel day for the Clemens party on their way to Berlin. Sam’s notebook:

Strassburg, Oct. 6.—Arles is very well, perhaps; but this is the place for pretty girls, apparently [NB 31 TS 8].

Susy Clemens and her Aunt Sue Crane went apart from the rest of the family to the Hotels Schweizerhof & Luzernhof at Lucerne, Switzerland. Susy wrote to Louise Brownell:

I have been thinking of you all day. You are so dear, so precious, so everything lovely….Aunt Sue and I have had a lovely day. It is the last glimpse of green for months I suppose….We join the others at Frankfurt tomorrow evening [Cotton 101117-21].

Joseph C. Westley wrote from British Guiana asking for Sam’s autograph [MTP].
