February 18, 1904 Thursday

February 18 Thursday – Sam’s notebook: “Report that Count Massiglia is to arrive from Siam Saturday. Probably not very welcome news for his widow” [NB 47 TS 6]. Note: Count Annibale Raybaudi (Rebaudi) Massiglia (1853-1942), was a diplomat in several countries, but not all at once.

Francis P. Elliott for Washington Magazine wrote to ask Sam if he recalled lending him a paper he had written “to the possibilities of …establishing a postal currency system?” He asked if he might print the article [MTP]. Note: Sam wrote on the letter “Referred to Mr. Duneka / Mar 2, 1904.”
