August 20 Sunday – In Sanna, Sweden, Livy and Clara Clemens wrote to Chatto & Windus; Clara requested a copy of The Open Question by Elizabeth Robins (C.E. Raimond) and Livy asked for selections of Robert Browning’s poetry, “something not very expensive” [MTP].

Sam wrote to Joe Twichell “The first of the Christian Science articles merely ridiculed the cult. I have sent it for print, but shall not use the others at present. Curiously enough this Swedish Gymnastic Cure is like that fraud in one way: it uses no medicines. Has used none since Kellgren invented it 35 years ago.” Sam wrote of the treatments, of the ineffective medicines of the past, and urged Joe to travel to England to see it. He told of his chronic bronchitis which Kellgren cured in four days [MTP].
