August 20 Sunday – In Krankenheil-Tölz, Germany Sam wrote to Susan Crane.

Sue, dear, we are packing, to leave here tomorrow (Monday), leave Munich Wednesday [Aug 23] morning & arrive at Franzensbad in afternoon.

Clara & I will leave there for Bremen Saturday or Sunday next [Aug. 26 or 27]. We sail Tuesday 29th. We ought to arrive in New York about the 7th September, as the Spree is a good boat.

Sam also advised her that they’d stay at the Murray Hill Hotel and that he would ship Clara “immediately” to Elmira, though he couldn’t go at once; Livy was worried about Clara being in New York due to a cholera scare [MTP].
