October 8 Sunday – The New York Times, p.18 under “Personal” ran this squib:

Although the sons of famous men are apt to be disappointing, the daughters seem not infrequently to seize the mantle of the paternal genius. Miss Mildred Howells is a most skillful story-teller and a clever illustrator, and Miss Clare [sic] Clemens, daughter of Mark Twain, though only twenty years old, has written a play which is highly spoken of. [Note: the play is not specified; this may be confused with a play that Susy wrote.]

John D.F. Slee wrote a quite illegible letter to Sam, which mentioned Fred Hall [MTP].
