May 1 Wednesday – In the evening from 1410 W. 10th in N.Y.C., Sam wrote to Katharine I. Harrison that H.H. Rogers had approved of a purchase of Chicago & Alton preferred stock in the amount of $10,000. “Therefore,” he wrote, “I am prepared to send you the check at any moment you require it” [MTP].

Sam also wrote to Edward W. Ordway, secretary of the Anti-Imperialist League.

“I am very much obliged for a glance at the letters, and vastly gratified to find that there’s a multitude of sane people in the Republican party yet, & in the rest of the nation. The letters say a lot of good things, & say them well, too” [MTP].

Sam’s notebook: “L. to Balto” [NB 44 TS 9]. Note: Livy went to Baltimore, returning on May 3, probably to visit friends there. See May 2 to Hutton.

Laurence Hutton sent a telegram to Sam, not extant but referred to in his May 2 reply below.
