January 1 to 5 Wednesday – Sam spent these days with Livy in Elmira [MTL 4: 3].

January 4 - Wilson Hall, Owego, New York

[See Tioga County Historical Society Newsletter]

December 27, Sam left New Haven on a coastal steamer for New York City.

This part of the Fellow Savages tour began with the trip from Washington D.C.

Traveling from Thompsonville to Brooklyn:  New Haven, Hartford and Springfield; New York & New Haven Railroads.  How or where Sam crossed the East River to Brooklyn, I don't know. The NYNH&H stopped at Oak Point.

December 1, 1869:   Bedford Avenue Reformed Church, Brooklyn, New York.

From Boston to Providence:  the Boston and Providence Railroad.

November 9 - Harrington's Opera House, Providence, Rhode Island

Sam returned to Boston that same night and wrote to his sister:

Twain departed Elmira October 29 and arrived in Pittsburgh October 30..  He would have taken the Elmira and Wlliamsport to Williamsport.

"But the time between some of the engagements was not wasted, for whenever the opportunity offered he hurried to Elmira to be with Livy and to read proof on Innocents Abroad.  The tour finally came to an end on March 3 in Lockport, New York, after which he hurried off to a longer visit at Elmira before proceeding to Hartford...."  (Lorch pg 96)
