January 25 Friday – Sam’s notebook: “University Club 5th Ave & 54th St Supper & music 9 p.m.” [NB 44 TS 4].

At 1410 W. 10th in N.Y.C., Sam wrote on a letter in French from H. Montheré (Nov. 6, 1900) to Chatto Windus. Montheré had requested translating rights to RI.

“I have told him you control my foreign business & will arrange with him in case you have not already parted with the French rights & are willing to trade with him—or words to that effect” [MTP]. Note: Sam’s reply to Montheré is not extant.

Sam also wrote to Franklin G. Whitmore. Only the envelope survives [MTP].
