October 3 or 10 Saturday –  In Tuxedo Park, N.Y. Sam wrote to Frederick A. Duneka that proofs for A Horse’s Tale be sent to Tuxedo Park before Oct. 17 or to 21 Fifth Ave. after Nov. 3 would get his “immediate attention.” He wanted to “sit in judgment” on the illustrations before they were accepted. Sam confessed that “the heroine is my small daughter Susy, whom we lost” [MTP]. Note: Sam wrote the 17,530-word story after Sept. 1905 from a suggestion of Minnie Maddern Fiske. Harper’s Magazine published the tale in two installments, Aug.-Sept. 1906 using illustrations by Lucius Wolcott Hitchcock. These and other illustrations were used in Harper’s 153-page book later in the month [MTP].
