January 30 Wednesday – The major portion of Sam’s Dec 27, 1888 letter about plagiarism to Baroness Gripenberg was translated and ran in the Stockholm, Sweden newspaper, Göteborg Handels-och Sjöfarts-Tidning [Moyne 377].

F.P. Browne for Bay National Bank, Bay City, Mich. wrote to Sam: “Your favor of Jan. 26 is at hand. I think you are safe this time as I find that the sentiment in this Diocese is centering upon Dr.Satterlee of New York.…I am much pleased to have your favorable opinion of Trinity College and the work of its President, and while I can’t conveniently send them the $200,000 this morning, yet possible your word may have some effect” [MTP].
