January 10 Tuesday – Isabel Lyon’s journal:

Today busy with check book and uninteresting mail during the morning. Mr. Clemens is still in his bed, but looks very much better than he did, and today Dr. Quintard pronounced him nearly normal. I played over the Tschaikowsky Finale of the Sonata Pathetique today. It is very beautiful.

Today a reporter from “The Journal” came to say that he’d heard that Mr. Clemens had been ill and he wanted me to put Mr. Clemen’s [sic] opinion of his illness into suitable words, and say that it came from Mr. Clemens [MTP: TS 37].
