January 31 Tuesday  Sam left Buffalo for Washington, D.C. via New York City. He telegraphed Elisha Bliss: “Have an appointment at Grand Hotel eleven tomorrow can you be there at noon.” Sam’s earlier appointment was with Isaac E. Sheldon or Francis P. Church of the Galaxy. Bliss objected to Sam writing for others, and offered Sam $5,000 to write exclusively for his American Publisher [MTL 4: 324, 320n1].

Sam left Susan and Theodore Crane with Livy and went to New York for two days [MTL 4: 325].
