September 8 Tuesday – Gustaf H. Ander wrote to Sam from NYC. Out of work and planning to start a business of some sort, Ander asked for an illustration he might use in his business. English was clearly not his first language [MTP].
Melville Elijah Stone (1848-1929) for Associated Press wrote to Sam (at his old address 14 W. 10th) inviting him to their banquet on Wed. evening, Sept. 16 and to make “a few remarks on any subject that may seem proper….There will be present a copule of hundred of the leading newspapermen of the United States” [MTP]. Note: Stone was the founder in 1876 of the Chicago Daily News, the first Chicago penny newspaper. He became general manager of the reorganized Associated Press in 1893. Under Stone’s leadership it became a great news agency. See ca. Sept 10.
