March 3 Monday – In Riverdale, N.Y. Sam finished his Mar. 2 to Franklin G. Whitmore.

March 3. I went house-hunting in the rain yesterday afternoon—I kept this letter waiting, because I might perhaps be able to report a purchase to you. But it didn’t happen. Cheap enough house, but I wouldn’t take it as a gift.

To-morrow I examine a lot of houses with an agent, & next day shall examine two or three with a friend. I think I shall succeed within a week. And I’d better, for I go yachting for 6 weeks soon—March 11th or 12th I think [MTP]. Note: the sailing date was Mar. 13.

Katharine I. Harrison wrote to Sam asking for a check of $ 10,425 to pay for the Bordens stock and advising that the stock was “a trifle higher” than she expected, but since a dividend of $150 was due on Mar. 15, it made the price about 102½ [MTHHR 482]. Note: n1 of the source points out that this sort of note from Harrison acting for H.H. Rogers, was a normal management of the details of the Clemenses finances.
