January 11 Saturday – In Riverdale, N.Y. Sam wrote a postcard to Ernest Howard Crosby of the New York Anti-Imperialist League, N.Y.C. “Make it 11 a.m. any day, but give me 24 hours’ notice by post, so that I may make no interfering arrangement” [MTP].

Frederick A. Duneka wrote to Sam, passing on a letter from a man who wanted to dramatize “The Death Disk” and pasting “The House Party” winner from the N.Y. Times—a lady who had correctly guessed all twelve authors of the stories selected for the book and won $1,000 [MTP]. Note: Sam thought the contest fraudulently used his name; he sent out his own polling letter on the way it was administered.
