October 24 Tuesday – Miller Reese Hutchinson sent a telegram to Sam, now at the Pearmain’s house, 388 Beacon Street, Boston : “When can you supply theatrical sketch as per letter of eleventh please answer my expense” [MTP]. Note: this Back Bay address was recently listed for sale as a multi-family house with twelve bedrooms and nine baths with nearly 11,000 square feet, built in 1900.

Louis E. Van Norman for Review of Reviews wrote to Sam, recalling their conversation on postal checks some months before. He asked Sam to write a character sketch of Benjamin Franklin, since the 200th anniversary of his birth was to be celebrated in January, and who better to write it than Twain? [MTP].
