July 1 Tuesday – Sam’s notebook: “First ½ payment to be made on York Harbor ($300.) / Mrs. E. Hartwig will call. / 16 W. Friendship st / Providence, R.I. / from the Queen of Roumania” [NB 45 TS19]. Note: Mrs. Hartwig had been in the Queen’s court for many years; see Queen to MT May 9, 1902; also Sam’s letter of recommendation for Mrs. Hartwig Nov. 16, 1904.

About this day Franklin G. Whitmore requested more autographs as he had “a large demand for them. Please send me a thousand or so” [MTP]. Note: Sam tore off the top of the letter and on July 3 wrote on the bottom, so the date of Whitmore’s is estimated.
