March 13 Wednesday – In Hartford Sam wrote to Augustin Daly, announcing that “the tribe” was about to “march New Yorkwards Friday for a couple of days.” He asked that four tickets (with bill) for Taming of the Shrew might be sent to the Murray Hill Hotel, the current favorite hotel due to its proximity to the rail station. Sam asked that the children might be “within 5 rows of the fiddlery” [MTP].

Augustin Daly wrote to Sam that his tickets would be delivered to the M.H.H. (Murray Hill Hotel) when he arrived [MTP]. Note: Daly needed a better quill.
