July 8 Wednesday – At Quarry Farm in Elmira, N.Y. Sam wrote to Edward W. Bok. “Photographs ‘with practically no text’ are in my line. But I reckon you’ll have to come up onto this hilltop if the thing is urgent, for I shall be here stiddy for the next 6 weeks” [MTP].
Sam also wrote to Howard Pyle. “I am ordering the children at home to bring your book here next month, when they come; & meantime I am thanking you with all my heart.(I did not tell them to send it. They would disobey. They are in possession, & know their advantage)” [MTP].
Sam’s notebook: “No reply yet from Jacobs. Collier telegraphs for particulars of $50,000 offer & says he can come to-morrow or Friday” [NB 46 TS 21]. Note: Collier’s telegraph not extant.
