November 21 Tuesday  Sam lectured in Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, New York  “Artemus Ward.” Plymouth was Henry Ward Beecher’s church. Sam evoked “continuous fits of laughter” [MTL 4: 497]. Advertisements like the one that ran on Nov. 9 in the Brooklyn Eagle, promoted this as “Reminiscences of Some Un-commonplace Characters that I have Chanced to Meet,” tickets 50 cents.  This particular ad ran a note by Redpath & Fall that this would “be his only appearance in that city the present season.”
