June 20 Tuesday – In Trient, Austria Sam wrote to Susan Crane.

Dear aunt Sue, the flies quitted us at the Italian frontier — and unspeakable relief — but the fleas have taken their place, & business goes on at the old stand. They make life a sorry for Livy & Jean.

We left the villa last Thursday [June 15], & now (Tuesday) we are within two days’ journey of Munich. We shall arrive there before or on Saturday — it will depend on how Livy feels. The heat is oppressive, & she must go moderately. Clara will reach Munich from Berlin a day or two after Commencement, which is 4 days hence (St. John’s Day) [MTP].

He also wrote to Charles J. Langdon, letter not extant but referred to in Langdon’s July 3 [MTP].
