May 6 Wednesday – In N.Y.C. Isabel Lyon wrote for Sam to Frederick A. Duneka.

“Mr. Clemens asks me to write for him & say that as these people want such a small quantity of stuff, & as it would look better to be in the collection than out of it, if you have no objection he will tell them to go ahead” [MTP]. Note: likely some unidentified group wanting to reprint snippets of Mark Twain’s published works, though also unidentified.

George L. Carlisle wrote to Sam, enclosing his first attempt at a book, Around the World in a Year. (1908). He sought Sam’s opinion of the book [MTP]. Note: See Gribben p. 127.

Dorothy Quick wrote a short note to Sam. “I have such a bad cold I won’t be able to come in this week if you want me I can come next week instead. I am disappointed. I put off writing till the last minute as Mother thought I might be all right…”[MTP; not in MTAq].
