April 28 Wednesday — Sam likely returned to Redding from NYC this day.
Andrew Carnegie wrote from NYC to Sam. “My Dear Friend / Thanks for your latest— / Is Shakespeare dead? Guess not—never going to die. Who was he-—Don’t care much so we’ve got him. / Bacon, or Johnson, or any other man what matters it—A rose by any other name...” And, “Good bye we are off for Naples & a Westward overland to Paris & London, then ah then, The Heather Hills the barnies, the broom, the scream of the wild curlew...Awfully good of you to come to dinner / You never made a happier speech—great—& oh so funny—‘ [MTP].
