April 25 Thursday – Jennie A. Eustace from Elmira wrote from N.Y.C. asking Sam “to write a part in this new play which shall fit me — me and only me. And then I want you to insist on Mr. Frohman engaging me to play it” [MTP].

H.H. Kelsey, Graham Taylor, and J.B. Pierce wrote a postcard from Hartford to Sam asking for the return of a “subscription list” sent on Apr. 9. Sam wrote on the card, “Haven’t got it” [MTP].

H.S. Taylor wrote from N.Y. to Sam, having opened an agency for authors. Sam wrote “No answer” on the env., as he did most solicitations [MTP].

Frederick J. Hall wrote to Sam, glad he was of the same mind about the World article, as was Whitford. “We have sent the book to Mr. Hewett as requested. Are pleased to know that the copying was so well done. We have written to Mr. [C.C.] Cox the photographer asking him to send us a set of the negatives Mr. Stedman will go over them and the one he selects we will order a dozen photographs of…”  [MTP]. Note: the sending of books to Teddy Hewett suggests they were the price of his photographs of Mark Twain. See Wheeler’s Apr. 22.
