Edward H. MacDonald wrote to Sam from Charles Town, W. Va..  MacDonald had temporarily lived in Hannibal with an uncle in 1847 and recalled a fight over a ball game [MTP]. Note: On or after this day Lyon wrote on the letter for Sam: “I remember the name Angus McD very well—although couldn’t have known him as I was a small boy—I could not have been in the fight for the reason that I was not in Hannibal in the year 1847 after my father’s death in Mar.” [MTP].

T.C. Bigelow for Illustrated Press Bureau wrote to ask Sam for “really good photographs,” especially in his “cream-colored suit” [MTP].

George B. Harvey wrote a confirmation to Miss Lyon that he would be at the meeting of the Damned Human Race Club at 1:15 p.m.on Friday, Feb. 15 [MTP].

Mary Alice Haslehurst (Mrs. J.W. Haslehurst) wrote to Sam. “A coupe will call for you tomorrow—Thursday—at 2 p.m. to bring you to the Waldorf-Astoria, for the Keats-Shelley Matinee, and if you will kindly tell the coachman at what hour you desire to return home, —he will be at your disposition…” [MTP].
