April 8 Monday – Sam’s notebook: “Mrs. Day, dinner” [NB 44 TS 8].

Augustus T. Gurlitz wrote to Sam. “I was very sorry to receive your card this morning informing me that you were still laid up…. The case [Kipling’s] has been put over until tomorrow and your attendance may not be required until in the afternoon.” Gurlitz also reported that Butler Brothers wanted to settle out of court and Gurlitz asked them for a statement of what they had done to fix things with all of their branches, then he would submit it to Sam. He had argued they should pay a dollar a copy for each unauthorized book they had sold [MTP].
