Sam’s notebook:

For two days we have been doubting Dittura’s reliability as a  news gatherer—but to-night I heard a news- man crying a paper—understood “Count  Bismark” & bought a copy—spelled out the fact that 2 days ago, Carlo Conti  di Bismark, a citizen of Venice, committed suicide by shooting himself through  the head with a revolver. So D.[ittura] was 2 days ahead of the newspaper [MTNJ  2: 223].

Stabilimento  Salviati, Venice, sent a statement for items purchased/shipped [MTP].
