December 17 Wednesday  Sam gave his “Roughing It on the Silver Frontier” lecture at the Queen’s Concert Rooms, London [MTPO].

Sam wrote to James Redpath about his plans to lecture in the “provinces” (Scotland and Ireland) and then to sail for home for a light schedule of lectures in New York and possibly Boston and then “retire permanently from the platform—for it is my very last.” Any time in February, Sam wrote. His plans would change [MTL 5: 523].
