- William Steinway’s diary: “Ottilie St. has a long interview with me as to George A. St. future.” This is most probably the same conversation that Ottilie herself will recall a few years later: “I told him that I couldn’t live with his son anymore, and I wanted to get a divorce. […] I told him that I could get a divorce in the State of New York on the ground of infidelity, and he acknowledged that, but told me that he wished me not to bring a suit in New York because it would bring up his own divorce suit, which happened some time ago, and that he would thank me very much for not bringing it in New York.”
- William Steinway offers to provide for his grandchildren and their mother, until the youngest of the children reaches the age of 21.
