March 27 Monday – Sam was en route on the Kaiser Wilhelm II to New York. Sam’s notebook:

Monday, 27. Up at 2.30 a.m. Passed AZORES 3.30 P.M. / D.O. Wills / Navy Cut / Bristol & London (in yeast. powder cans) [NB 33 TS 4].

Susy Clemens’ letter of late March to Louise Brownell relates her breaking Florence tradition:

On Monday I gave a little lunch quite a social earthquake here as it’s such a departure from the usual tea and actually social life consists here as in college absolutely of teas. Isn’t it curious? [Cotton 101218]. Note: Willis puts this tea as a week after Sam’s departure, so this date is likely [205].
