February 24 Tuesday – Fatout lists a speech at the William Dean Howells dinner in Boston for Sam on this day, but gives no particulars and none were found [MT Speaking 672].
Sam’s notebook: “Submerged fame” [NB 46 TS 11].
Rogers dictated a letter to Sam.
I have your letters, and will make the appointment for the review of the article in the “Cosmopolitan.” I note what you say in regard to jury duty, and will endeavor to get you relieved.
I hand you herewith a copy of letter received from Mr. Bliss, which will explain itself. Please read carefully. I think you had better get permission from Harper & Bros. in regard to the publication of the Russian Passport story, and remember about copyrighting hereafter.
Sorry to hear that Mrs. Clemens is not progressing favorably. [MTHHR 519]. Note: For speculation on this reference to the Cosmopolitan, see n1 of source.
