September 27 Tuesday ca. – In Hartford Sam wrote to Frederick J. Hall, answering the Sept. 26 from Webster & Co. He wasn’t “greatly incline[d]” about the Ireland encyclopedia and the convict life book, but thought they might “talk over & think about, & carefully consider” the revised Bible, since “There’s no apparent hurry” [MTP].
