April 16 Tuesday – At 21 Fifth Ave, N.Y. Sam gave instructions to Lyon for reply to Mark G. McElhinney’s Apr. 3. “Thank him for his letter & say that by & by when his philosophy is printed he will send him a confidential copy” [MTP].

Sam also replied by writing on Dr. Edward Anthondy Spitzka’s Apr. 10. “Well, I read the other one, & got some thing out of it for the C. S. book. Glad to have it. Life’s getting a little dull lately, & nothing excites me like the encephalic” [MTP].

George Wharton James wrote to Miss Lyon. “Has Gessford sent in the photos to be autographed yet?”[MTP].

Grace S. Paley wrote on Hotel Colonial stationery, NYC, somewhat of a begging letter to Sam. Could she see him and explain her “somewhat peculiar” circumstances? She was glad he wrote “The Dog’s Tale” [MTP].
