July 5 Tuesday – In the afternoon, Sam sailed again for Bremen, Germany on the S.S. Lahn. Just before boarding he received a note from Sarah A. Trumbull (see July 18). The trip over took eight days; the return trip would, at that rate, reach the destination about July 13 or 14.

Sometime during the trip Sam wrote in his notebook:1 “Symod’s [sic] Life of Cellini. Nimmo” [Gribben 134]. Note: John Addington Symonds’ The Life of Benvenuto Cellini, Newly Translated into English, two volumes (1888).
