April 16 Thursday – Frederick A. Duneka of Harper & Brothers wrote asking Sam if there was “any hope for a story or an article for the Christmas” issue; he suggested a couple of possible topics, and apologized for doing so, but was “striking in the air in the hope of firing your imagination” [MTP].
Muriel M. Pears began a letter to Sam that she finished on Apr. 20. It had been “difficult” for her to answer his last letter and she’d allowed four days to pass since receiving it. Like her other letters, it is long, and filled with her activities, thoughts, books read, and plans [MTP].
