Feb. 26 Monday Let’s see! Well first Claude went to N.Y. (about Feb. 7) and spent a week and more there with Harry Wilkinson & his friend “Graves” of Boston & Gellett Burgess – stopped nights at the Manhattan & day times at the University Club. Met Howells and Ruth McEnery Stuart & Kate Douglas Wiggin and had a party at Miss Tomkins' and another at Mrs. Strong's, where they met the beautiful young Miss Ide of Samoa — the one Stevenson gave his birthdays to. They went to the League Dinner and to the Players & saw Henry Miller ordering “Gramercy Stew” and Gellett had everyone he met write him an Epitaph and Claude's was: – “Sad-souled and yet a jester; World-old and yet a child. Life smote from him a music, Sweet, passionate and wild” –
