May 29 Monday – At Prince of Thurn und Taxis’ country estate outside of Prague, Clara wrote on a postcard to Frau Malvine Bree in Vienna: “Komen Sie bald nach America und besuchen Sie / Clara C.” Livy and Sam each signed the card [MTP].

The Clemens party left Prague and traveled 155 miles by rail to Nuremburg, Germany, where they spent the night. Their plans were to travel only in daytime, so it is assumed they left Prague in the a.m. This leg was about the same distance as Vienna to Prague, which took seven hours.

The New York Times, p.6 in “Topics of the Times” enlarged on the discussion of the future autobiography of Mark Twain, calling it “a most interesting controversy,” and that the “general inclination” was to be suspicious of a hoax.”
