June 26 Thursday – On board the Kanawha, en route from Riverdale, N.Y. to York Harbor, Maine Sam wrote to H.H. Rogers. The weather on the trip was perfect, but Jean caused Livy some sleepless nights: More of his above letter relating to this day:
It is 3.30 now, & a brilliant day, but we have missed the most of it through having to stay below & watch Jean [his daughter], who was perfectly well yesterday but is under threats to-day…There is no way to thank you for this lovely trip…I think this is Cape Cod, but I haven’t inquired. Sand-banks all along & no business going on…[ MTP: Christie’s East catalog, 12 Nov. 1997, Item 20; not in MTHHR]. Note: Sam gives more detail of the trip on July 7 to Rogers.
