June 26 Saturday — In Redding, Conn. Sam replied to Elizabeth Jordan’s June 23. The MTP shows this as two letters, the first being merely a sentence Sam wrote on the back of Jordan’s incoming: “Wir hätten sollen alle des Morgens um die Arbeit vorbehalten müssen. Let us save the tomorrows for work” [MTP]. The second short note: Dear Miss Jordan: I have with pleasure autographed the books, & my daughter Jean will do them up & forward them to you. / With many many thanks for the weather—if it is you that sent it— / Sincerely yours /” … [MTP].
The investigation of Isabel Lyon and Ralph W. Ashcroft by Sam’s attorney was completed with damning judgment found against the pair [June 28 to Coe].
