October 8 ThursdaySam’s notebook:

I to write exclusively for him; (magazine stuff). 
At 30 cents a word; 
And get $10,000 a year; 
Even if I write nothing.

If I write more than $10,000 worth, the surplus to be paid at 30 c per word. [NB 46 TS 25]. Note: Sam was mulling over Robert J. Collier’s offer.

Joe Twichell wrote to Sam, the letter not extant but referred to in his Oct. 9 reply.
