April 20 Thursday – In Vienna, Austria, Sam replied to Wayne MacVeagh (whose letter is not extant).

“I am glad to be able to answer one at least of those questions definitely: that the family are in very good health & furnishing no support to repairers, except of course the dentists—their ministrations never cease in anybody’s family, I suppose.”

Sam shared plans to return to the U.S. in late Sept. or early Oct., and of their residence there being undecided. He thought they’d stay in Vienna until the first of July, then go to Jersey or Geurnsey for the summer. He closed with a note about Prince Lichnowsky “who was at sea approaching San Francisco— so I hope you will presently meet” [MTP: TS: Lion Heart Autographs catalogs, Feb. 10, 1997, Item 16]. Note: see Feb. 2 on Lichnowsky.
