January 30 Monday – Sam wrote from Buffalo to James Redpath. Sam asked if his article on Rev. William Sabine in the Feb. issue of Galaxy (“The Indignity Put Upon the Remains of George Holland by the Rev. Mr. Sabine”) would bring damage. Sam had called Sabine a “crawling, slimy, sanctimonious, self-righteous reptile” for his refusal to officiate at a funeral for George Holland, a popular comic and actor [MTL 4: 322-3].
