April 15 Sunday – In New York at the Players Club Sam wrote to Livy at the Hotel Brighton in Paris. He’d been out to dine with the Laffan’s; the Dana’s had sailed for Europe; and he called at the Millet’s in the afternoon: “he was out & she had gone to England a few days ago.” Sam gave Livy the name of a French doctor, Léon Brachet, recommended by Edmund Routledge — Sam said she should put the doctor’s name in her address-book. Sam told of running into Poultney Bigelow twice the day before and once this day [MTP]. Note: Brachet was the author of Aix-Les-Bains (In Savoy) (1891).

The New York Sun p.5 ran “Mark Twain in Town,” see Apr.14 entry [Scharnhorst, Interviews 143].
