March 14 Wednesday – about this day Henry Ferguson of Hartford wrote again about the changes he’d requested in the article with his Journals from the Hornet saga.

“There seems to be no end to the trouble that you have brought upon yourself in your kind compliance with my wishes in regard to certain passages in my own and my brother’s journals. I greatly regret that it has been so but it is a great relief to me to have the slight modifications made” [MTP].

Sam’s Notebook: “Mailed March 14, letter to Mr. Rogers asking him to send me $12,500 so that it will reach here (London), Apl. 15. It is for Plasmon-syndicate & is 50% of my purchase. The other 50% to be paid later” [NB 42 TS 60].
