Vol 3 Section 0103
The Chap-Book, p.151-2 reprinted Sam’s “reluctant” June 19 letter to the NY Herald, then editorialized: “We should like to believe still that the real man in health and happiness is somewhat more sturdy than the pathetically flaccid and groveling figure we are trying not to see today” [Tenney: “A Reference Guide Fourth Annual Supplement,” American Literary Realism, Autumn 1980 p. 173]. Note: for more of this editorial, see MTHHR 289n3.
Sam used two overlapping notebooks for this period (now #41 and 42). The latter contains an address list of eight pages, together with day of week and/or times each was available for social calls. These provide an insight into important persons he either met, or intended to meet, or wanted to know about. Most of these were in Vienna, a few elsewhere. The following list is in the order he entered it (omitting a few duplications) . Each entry was separated with a short horizontal line. These listings may have been accumulated over a period of days or weeks. The list directly follows the Gletscher Museum entry and is prior to Sam’s description of the Villa Bühlegg, which the family took possession of on July 16.
