Hawthorne who were ushers. [NY Times, Apr. 15, 1903, “What is Doing in Society,” p.9].
Reginald Wright Kauffman of The Press, Phila. wrote to Sam, suggesting that for future Christian Science articles, Sam get “hold of ‘Mother Mary’s poems” from William Archer Purrington of NY, who had done articles for the NY Sun, and written a book on the cult in 1900; see prior listing for Purrington [MTP].
