October 7 Wednesday – Stopping at Frankfurt on the Main (Frankfurt) the Clemens party may have spent the night at the Hotel Continental. Sam telegraphed Chatto & Windus from the hotel, sending his new address for the next six months in Berlin, 7 Körnerstrasse, and asking them to send him a copy of “The Table,” a cookbook just issued by Webster & Co. “Don’t divulge my address, please” [MTP]. Note: Rodney writes Sam arranged an overnight rest stop at Strassburg where he quotes Sam’s notebook:

So many little conveniences not to be had here: Fountain pens, good type-writing machines, rubber shoes [Rodney 139; NB 31 TS 9].
