January 31 Wednesday – Fatout lists a reading for Sam at Mrs. Gertrude Cowdin’s in New York City [MT Speaking 661]. Note: The undated MTP TS of this invitation, however is as follows:

My dear Mr. Clemens

Won’t you come in to a very informal & impromptu spree on Saturday evening about ten thirty. Our friend Mr. Reid is coming & I have warned him not to appear without you.

This was signed by Gertrude “Cowdie,” which may be a misreading of the handwriting. It may be that there were two engagements and that Fatout’s listing is correct.
