December 11 Thursday – In Riverdale, N.Y. Sam wrote one sentence to Connecticut Magazine. “It is a fine and great magazine and I feel a strong interest in it, and a strong pride as well” [MTP].
Sam also replied to Frederick W. Peabody’s Dec. 10.
I shall not be through with what I have to say in the N. A. Review about Mrs. Eddy & Xn Science until the April number.
Do you mean to tell me that my private letters are not safe in your hands?
You want to go pretty carefully, now, & not make any mistake [MTP].
Sam also wrote to Louise M. Still, on the staff of Harper’s Bazar, enclosing the Dec. 9 Baltimore note from W.W. Stickley (whose name was crossed out in pen by Sam). “This is Obituary No. 82, & is full of suggestion / SLC” [MTP].
William Denison McCrackan wrote to Sam. Upon his return to NYC the day before, McCrackan found Sam’s Dec. 9 letter about his plans for the Christian Science articles in the NAR and for a book to follow. He suggested Sam might get an idea of Mary Baker Eddy from those who knew her, naming several, including Gen. Frank Streeter, head of the bar in N.H. [MTP].
