January 6 Thursday – Sam wrote at 9 AM from Dan Slote’s in New York to Livy.

“The Amenia train has been changed to 3.30 instead of 4, PM., & so it is just right. I can arrive there at 7.21, whoop my lecture & clear out again.”

He’d been reading Robinson Crusoe and kept losing the book. “It is just like me. I must have a nurse” [MTL 4: 1].

In the evening he lectured (“Savages”) in Amenia, New York.

An article, “Mrs. Stowe’s Vindication,” attributed to Sam, was printed in the Buffalo Express [McCullough 129].
