July 25 Tuesday – Sam’s article “The Secret Out” ran in the NY Evening Post [Camfield, bibliog.].

Montgomery Schuyler (1843-1914) of the NY World, wrote to Sam, enclosing a World galley proof reprinting his July 22 letter from the Evening Post. On it Schuyler wrote: “I don’t see why, when you have a grievance, you shouldn’t make it known thro’ these ponderous columns—What’s the Evening Post to you, or you to the Evening Post? When you have a post office trouble why go to the Post office—Come weep on this bosom—Who ran to puff you when you wrote a play” [MTPO]. Note: Sam wrote on the env. “Squib about P.M. General’s Removal”
