June 10 Friday – In Bad Nauheim, Germany Sam wrote to his daughter Clara in care of Frau Koch, 151 Kurfürstenstreet in Berlin, where she was studying piano.

Clara dear, we have moved, & we like our new quarters ever so much better than the old ones. Mrs. Hague & family are next to us on the same floor. They will stay till July 18. It would have been horribly lonesome for Mamma at that other place & I on the sea. This house is close to the bath & is almost in the shadow of the trees of the beautiful park. It’s a mighty profitable change.

Sam joyously announced two doctors’ opinion about Livy’s case — that it was “curable, & easily curable.”

Bad Nauheim is a town in the Wetteraukreis district of Hesse state of Germany. The town is located approximately 22 miles north of Frankfurt, on the east edge of the Taunus mountain range. It is a resort noted for its salt springs, used to treat heart and nervous disorders. It was one more resort stop during this period in search of better health.

M.E. Waring for Atlantic Lyceum Bureau wrote again, this time to “business manager for Mr. Saml. L. Clemens” [MTP]. See May 24 entry.
