January 6 Wednesday – In Ilsenburg, Germany Sam wrote to Frederick J. Hall. He enclosed a $100 check to be endorsed over to Mr. Halsey on Wall Street, an investment for Livy.

Mrs. Clemens & I are staying here for a few days in the Hartz Mountains. We return Jan. 12 to Berlin. Address me hereafter / Hotel Royal Berlin.

I lecture in Berlin Jan. 13 — may possibly return here, but my address will remain as above.

Happy New Year! [MTLTP 301].

Note: Paine writes the Clemenses “week of change” at Ilsenburg was “pleasant…and they would have remained longer but for the Berlin lecture engagement” [MTB 935]. On Jan. 9, however, Sam wrote to Annie E. Trumbull that they were returning the next day, Jan.10 to Berlin.
