November 24 Sunday – In Riverdale, N.Y. Sam wrote to Chatto & Windus, requesting sheets for “The Californian’s Tale,” which he meant to publish in Harper’s Monthly [MTP].

Grace Elizabeth King wrote from New Orleans to Sam advising that a few days later a registered letter would be sent to him c/o the Players Club “containing the scenario of a play which you are to put into the hands of Irving, extruding a promise from him to read it…” [MTP]. Note: this was a play by Albert Phelps of New Orleans, who wrote Sam on Dec. 12.
