April 10 Friday – In Riverdale, N.Y. Sam wrote to John White Alexander, illustrator.
I have an engagement & must lose the pleasure of being there, but I thank you heartily for remembering me & offering me a chance to share in the good times you are going to have. We shall never have a more capable or a kinder Secretary than Mr. Gage was. When I was in Europe two years ago I asked him to pass two tons of baggage for me duty free, & I offered to divide. Not many would have done that [MTP].
Sam also inscribed his photograph to Maxim A. Moshin: “Maxim Alexey Mochin / With kindest greetings from / Very truly yours / Mark Twain / April 10/03” [MTP]. Mochin/Moshin: Not further identified.
