February 5 Friday – At the Hotel Royal in Berlin and still down in bed, Sam wrote to Frederick J. Hall. The doctor had ordered Sam to leave for the south of France as soon as he was able. Sam put his new address at the top of the letter, his Paris banker. He’d received a sample Mark Twain’s Memory Builder from Hall, and pointed out the flaws in the boards.

It will not be well to send any of these boards out — they will come back to you, sure.

I am expecting to be allowed to sit up a little while to-day. We shall see, when the doctor comes.

I am ordered to a warm climate as soon as I can travel. Hence my address is changed back to the Paris banker as above. Yrs sincerely / SLC [MTLTP 306].
