August – Sometime during the month Sam wrote Franklin G. Whitmore, “I can have no stoppage upon any pretext,” which most likely had to do with the Paige typesetter [MTP].

“Mark Twain’s Story” ran in Frank Leslie’s Popular Monthly. Sam wrote a list of his favorite songs in his notebook, not dated but within August notes. These may not be the full or correct titles, but they were good enough for Sam:

Killaloo.

Larboard Watch.

Lorelie.

Lang Syne.

Swing Low.

Gospel Train.

Grave of Napoleon.

Old Folks at Home.

Golden Slippers

Die Wacht am Rhein

Lily of the Valley

Go Down Moses

Go chain de lion

Roll Jordan [MTNJ 3: 513].
