September 11 Wednesday – In Saranac Lake, N.Y. Sam wrote a short compliment to his nephew Samuel E. Moffett on his article in the XIX Century : “It is the best piece of work concerning the several large subjects touched upon that I have seen on either side of the water….I think there would always be a market for literature of that high quality” [MTP]. Note: Moffett answered on Sept. 15.
