June 23, 1906 Saturday

June 23 Saturday – About this day Sam gave Lyon a memo to write Witter Bynner: “Write Bynner that Mr. Clemens feels that McClure is a publisher & not an editor. Can’t you look over that Ms.” [MTP].  Note: Bynner was an editor at this time for McClure’s. See ca. June 10 entry.

Another memo was given to Lyon, this for Samuel S. McClure likely having to do with the same above reply to Bynner. Both memos carry a “?” for this date: “Telegraph Mr. McClure that Mr. Clemens can see him at noon on Wednesday June 27” [MTP].

June 17 Sunday – In Dublin, N.H. Sam added to his June 16 to Charlotte Teller Johnson.

Sunday continued. I’ve come back to bed—there was no way to put in the time. It is still raining as hard as ever, & is reposeful & contenting. I finished both letters—oh, acres of MS!— make them kill time for me as long as I could. If by good luck Mr. Rogers says yes—but I know he will, & then I shall do as I’ve said.
