March 4, 1903 Wednesday

March 4 Wednesday – In Riverdale, N.Y. Sam wrote to Frank Bliss.

“Church Manual of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, Boston.”

I want a copy of this little book—right away, if possible—for 1902. (I have an old copy.)

Can’t you borrow it for a few days from some Hartford member? If not, can’t your friends in Boston manage to buy one? [MTP].

Sam also wrote to the Chicago Daily Tribune. “Only at second hand. Pudd’nhead vindicated Francis Galt. This vindicates Pudd’nhead” [MTP: Chicago Daily Tribune, 5 March 1903, p. 1]. Note: Francis Galton, author of Finger Prints (1892), used in composing PW.
