November 19 Monday – Orion and Mollie Clemens finished a letter to Sam & Livy they began Nov. 17 (annotated, letter & clipping enclosed);

William H. Wiegel, an old, wounded veteran with six children wrote asking Sam for a loan of $35; he had a $1,500 claim against the government that would be settled. A return envelope was unused [MTP].

Webster & Co. wrote to Sam: “We are having some little trouble with Mr. Wright. He came to the office, to hand in his orders, as is is now canvassing for us, and seems to think that he still has some authority here…I judge from the way he has been talking that it would be safer to have nothing whatever to do with him.” Hall wanted to talk it over when Sam came in [MTP].
