February 17, 1910 Thursday

February 17 Thursday  - In Hamilton, Bermuda Sam began a letter to Albert B. Paine in Redding, Conn. that he finished Feb, 18, which was in Helen Allen’s hand.

Dear Paine:

Let us not give up the tobacco forgery lightly. Even if Ashcroft could prove he was my authorized agent, he was still not authorized to use his authority to injure me & to steal £25 from me.

But was he my agent? He must have made the trade last June when he ran away to England & needed money. His Attorneyship had ceased there [MTP].

William Wymark Jacobs wrote from Essex, England to thank Sam for his letter [MTP].
