Percy Spalding wrote to Sam, enclosing a financial statement from Chatto & Windus. “Your kind letter of December 30th has reached us to-day. We all heartily reciprocate the good wishes you express, and certainly trust that the New Year will be one full of happiness and prosperity to Mrs. Clemens, yourself, and daughters” [MTP].
