September 3 Thursday – At Quarry Farm in Elmira, N.Y. Sam wrote to Will Larrymore Smedley in Chatauqua, N.Y.
“The picture has just arrived from Riverdale. It was received by the family with an explosion of Exquisite! exquisite!’ all down the line—& certainly if you ever owed me anything on benefits conferred, the account is more than squared” [MTP]. Note: Smedley had been allowed to illustrate a new edition of GA, perhaps by recommendation from Sam. See May 30 and Aug. 29.
Sam left Quarry Farm and returned to New York; or, he may have left early the next day, but boarded Rogers’ yacht Kanawha at 6 p.m. Sept. 4 [NB 46 TS 23].
