November 23, 1903 Monday

November 23 Monday – Miss Theodosia Lawson Boone presented Sam the letter of introduction from St. Clair McKelway dated Nov. 18, 1903. Miss Boone added her own note, confessing she did not know McKelway personally, but he was an old friend of her father’s (Dr. William C. Boone) [MTP].

John S. Palmer of the Echo Farm Co., NYC wrote to Sam about his order: “Your request for 50 lbs. our wholesome Brownish Flour and 6 loaves of its bread came in due time. A slight delay has occurred getting all properly ready. Our manager is directed to make shipment now promptly in strict accord with your wish.” The loaves would have to be heated and dried to prevent mould during shipment [MTP].
