A.J. Dawson wrote from Scotland to ask Sam, “When will you come back again? The U.S. shouldn’t be selfish; we too have rights….Yours so affectionately.” Dawson quoted Sam’s “The Aged Pilot Man” from RI (1872) [MTP].

Dorothy Quick wrote from Plainfield, NJ, enclosing the story of “Martin Chown” she’d written. “I think I copied the story exactly…I have lost one sheet of the original but I’ll send what I have[.] I’m sorry now I copied it over but Mother said the writing was very bad. I want to come up next Saturday very much & I think I can” [MTP; not in MTAq].
