June 18 Sunday – In London, England, Sam wrote to Chatto & Windus to ask what kind of a club the Royal Societies Club was, at 63 St. James Street, as he’d been invited on June 28 to their annual dinner [MTP]. Note— from their statement of purpose:

“THE ROYAL SOCIETIES CLUB was founded in the year one thousand eight hundred and ninety-four, for the association in Membership of Fellows and Members of the principal Learned Societies, Universities, and Institutions of the United Kingdom, India, and the Colonies; Academicians and Associates of the Academies, together with persons distinguished in Literature, Science, and Art, with the object of affording facilities for social intercourse and re-union, upon such a basis as to ensure its success as a leading Social Club, while furthering the objects and interests of the Learned Societies.”

Sam also sent Chatto a printed page proposed for the thousand numbered copies of his Uniform Edition to be sold in England. Written above and between the printed text:

“This is all right—nothing to add. When we hear from Bliss we can add that the book will be signed, if you think it would be an advantage. Frohman is a subscriber, & he tells me 2 of these volumes are already issued” [MTP].
