March 10 Saturday – At 30 Wellington Court in London, England Sam wrote to John Y. MacAlister.

I will ask you to send Mr. Heinberg to Lord George Hamilton’s nearest friend with this proposition: That we deliver in Calcutta or Bombay, carriage free, 2,500,000 pounds of Plasmon per month to end of the famine for £50,000.

The which will furnish to each individual, big & little, of the famine stricken, the equivalent of ½ pound of best beefsteak per day at cost of one shilling per month of 31 days [MTP].

Note: Sam wrote on the left margin of the first page: “I think of calling to-morrow afternoon.” Lord George Hamilton (1845-1927), British Conservative Party politician at this time member of Parliament for Ealing. Heinberg has not been further identified.
