November 30 Monday – Sam’s 56th Birthday.

Livy’s Dec. 1 to George H. Warner describes a visit this day by Mr. & Mrs. du Bois-Raymond:

…his father is one of the great and learned scientists here and her father is Hensel (who wrote the Family Mendelsohn) and her grandfather was Mendelsohn. They were most delightful, both of them are full of interest in everything. She had read Kipling and Harding Davis and knew about what she was talking about: just the kind of woman you would like. I think comparatively few of the German women are so well up in the contemporaneos Eng. and American literature [Dec. 1 to Warner].

J.P. Campbell wrote on First National Bank of Clay Center, Kans. Stationery reporting his experience with “Mental Telegraphy” [MTP].
