January 27 Monday – The Clemenses had planned to return to Riverdale by this day, and in his Jan. 29 to Wood, Sam wrote he “just returned.” Given his evening talk in N.Y.C. on Jan. 28, it’s not likely he spoke on a travel day, so this is the likeliest day for their return.

Franklin G. Whitmore wrote for Sam to Mrs. A.W. Smith of Middletown, Conn. Only the envelope survives [MTP].

Frank Fuller wrote a long letter to Sam extolling the virtues of Gluten Soap, and asking for a testimonial on it [MTP]. Note: Sam wrote on the env. “Declined, by telegram, Jan. 29/02.”
