September – Sam’s article, “Concerning the Jews” first ran in the Sept. issue of Harper’s . It was collected in The Man That Corrupted Hadleyburg and Other Stories (1900) and How to Tell a Story, and Other Essays (1903); a postscript was added to the essay in the English edition of the former as well as later American editions beginning in 1902. See Sept. 15 to Simon Wolf, with notes.

Sam wrote “My Boyhood Dreams” in Sanna this month. Gribben offers that the sketch alluded to Frank Richard Stockton (1834-1902) “in a context that indicates esteem and affection; he jokingly claims that Stockton originally hoped to be a barkeeper” [666: DV390; McClure’s Magazine Jan. 1900 issue, p.286-90: Budd Collected 2: 1005].
