1 Clemens replied to the following invitation from Reid, dated 21 April: “If you and Warner are coming here next week, why not arrange to be in town Saturday night at the Lotos Club? It is the closing dinner of the season, and you should meet plenty of people you like” (Whitelaw Reid Papers, DLC). No other surviving documents mention that Olivia was ill, and only two days later, on 24 April, she and Susy accompanied Mrs. Langdon and Hattie Lewis on their return to Elmira. Nevertheless, she may have been experiencing early symptoms of the quinsy she developed in Elmira (Elisabeth G. Warner to George H. Warner, 24 Apr 73, CU-MARK; 17 Feb 73 to Langdon, n. 3; 25 and 26 Apr 73 to OLC; 5 May 73 to OC and MEC).
