October 22 Wednesday – Michael P. O’Kelley replied from NY to Sam’s “joke letter” which asked for old bonds and bills from the US Treasury for fuel:
Secretary Shaw who has been so kind to the poor men of Wall Street I hope will comply with your request and fill your order, when you receive your Fuel from Washington, kindly consider me an applicant to sift the ashes and pick the cinders, there are no pickings in the Police Department at present. In case you don’t hear from Secretary Shaw I understand Mayor Low has a few gold bricks he has not given out… [MTP].
