May 7 Wednesday – Sam’s notebook: “Train 6.40—arr. 7.9. / Dinner here—7.30. Robt. McClure & Jaccaci” [NB 45 TS 12]. Note: August F. Jaccaci, art director for McClure’s Magazine.

Blanche E. Weekes wrote from Baltimore to Sam.

I send you by this mail a copy of the dramatisation of your book “Prince and Pauper.” I hope it will meet with your approval, and can find enough merit to permit it submitted to a manager.

I think the acts may be a little short, and have planned a lengthening of each, which I can accomplish without loss of time, should it be deemed advisable.

If you desire any alteration, or Miss Marbury either, shall be glad to carry out the suggestion [MTP]. Note:

Sam wrote on the bottom of the letter and sent it to Elisabeth Marbury on May 13.
