February 11 Thursday – At 23 Tedworth Square in London, Sam wrote to Chatto & Windus, ordering two books, one “something that will explain the law of whom to leave cards on” [MTP: American Art Assoc. catalogs, Apr. 18, 1929, Item 76]. Note: English etiquette regarding calling cards was evidently somewhat foreign to the Clemens family.

Sam signed the Chelsea Library Visitor’s Book: “Truly Yours SL. Clemens, Mark Twain / 11th February, 1897” [Mark Twain Journal 36:2 (Fall 1998) p.31].
