February 10 Monday – In Riverdale, N.Y. Sam replied to Elisabeth Marbury’s Feb. 8.

The reason I have been trying to get you on the telephone is this:

Do you know the PROPRIETOR of the theatre where “A Gentleman of France” was being matinèed last Saturday week? [Feb. 1]

For you know how to do things. Mrs. Clemens lost a valuable emerald-&-diamond ring there, that day, & wrote the box-office about it to-day a week ago, & has received no reply. Won’t you get that ring for me? I can’t get away from here for several days. I went to town Saturday to get your advice & assistance, but was kept speechifying to the Vassar Alumnae until it was too late. God will bless you, for He takes an interest in jewelry [MTP].
