February 15 Tuesday — In Hamilton, Bermuda Sam wrote to Thomas Lemuel James.
Dear General,
The parcel of money shipped to me per Wells Fargo, February 4 has not yet arrived. I thought I would mention this in passing. But I mention it mainly to put you on your guard against sending anything to Bermuda or elsewhere by any express company, because the persons connected with those companies have been dead 30 years. This often causes delay, / Yours always / ... [MTP]. Note: see Jan. 30 to James.
Sam also wrote to Albert B. Paine, using Miss Helen Allen for dictation. Text not available [MTP: Dawson’s Bookshop catalog 140, Feb. 1940, Item 79].
Joseph J. De Long wrote from NYC to ask permission to send a story “Hell-bent” [MTP]. Note: ABP: “Mr Clemens is not in America”
Lottie Hardy James (Mrs, William H, James) wrote from Haverhill, Mass. to ask for an authograph for her son [MTP].
