November 29 Friday – Sam’s notebook: “At the Library—8 p.m. politician / a May engagement—see May 29” [NB 44 TS 19]. Note: May 29 only mentions Mrs. Urban H. Broughton.

In Riverdale, N.Y. Sam signed a typewritten note to Mrs. Sol Baerlein, (Lottie Kohner Baerlein, d.1920) declining an invitation [MTP: Scott J. Winslow Assoc. catalog, June 16, 1999, Item 80]. Note: Sol Baerlein published poetry in the yearbook of the Celibates Club.

Joe Twichell wrote to Sam raving about his story, “The Death Disk” in the new Harper’s. Joe also informed him that Harmony would leave on Dec. 4 and be in New York at 1:58 p.m. “We have some things to do in New York, and shall probably not get away for Riverdale till 3.40 or 4.05, or 4.30—but will telegraph you when. How good it seems to think we are going to see you all!” [MTP]. Note: on the top of the letter Sam wrote, “No, Joe, telephone from Grand Central—150 Kingsbridge.”
