June 26 Saturday – Orion Clemens wrote to Sam. “All right. I will finish my MS. and then send it to you in one batch. I am glad you are still at work—I suppose on the Last Prince. I should be very sorry to interfere…Mollie’s agent sold 19 Tramps in two days, last week, and 12 since. She pays her 30 p.ct. to make her active” [MTP]. Note: Mollie Clemens was acting as if she were an agent; no documentation found that would say authorized agent.

Tiffany & Co. wrote to Sam. We enclose designs for your approval. In 3 colors of gold as No. 1, the price will be $13, or same in enamel $16 & No. 2 $22 [MTP]. Note: Sam wrote on the env., “Their contract for the Badges”; these were for the Saturday Morning Club; see July 14 from Tiffany & Co.

E. Metzger wrote from Stuttgart Germany to ask Sam’s consent to translate TA into German; she got his address from Baron Tauchnitz [MTP].
