August 12 Friday – Jervis Langdon II wrote to Sam.

“The stenographer who attended the funeral and took down Mr. Twichell’s and Mr. Eastman’s remarks has sent me a copy of his work which is small and neatly bound. He desires it to go to you, and I am mailing it to you to-day.” He related the trouble that Julia’s husband Edward Loomis had had with his ankle, which forced a delay in their trip. He hoped for Jean’s fast improvement with “no further calamities.” At the bottom of the typed one-page letter, Jervis wrote by hand: “I am glad you found a probatable will, & that the whole matter is thus simplified for you. Love to Jean” [MTP].
