October 12 Monday – In Berlin at 7 Körnerstrasse, Sam wrote to Rudolf Lindau (1829-1910) of the Foreign Office, answering his invitation (not extant), probably to dine. The only evening Sam had free in the week was Wednesday, but he was entirely free the next week [MTP]. Note: Lindau had studied philology and was also a novelist and short story writer. He was also on the staff of the Revue des Deux Mondes for many years. Lindau’s younger brother was Paul Lindau (1839-1919), German dramatist and novelist.

Joseph Hatton’s dramatization of P&P opened at the Strand Theatre in London; Sam wrote of his hope for its success on Oct. 16 to Chatto. See review Oct. 17 in Athenaeum (London). ‡ Addenda.

Frances C. Sparhawk for Committee on Indian Libraries wrote from Newton Centre, Mass. asking for Sam’s signature to be sold for the benefit of his association [MTP].
