June 3 Friday – Sam wrote from Hartford to the A.V.S. Anthony, asking him to buy “100 of the choicest cigars in Boston, for [Osgood] to fight the Atlantic voyage with….” [MTP]. Osgood was taking a trip abroad.

Sam also wrote to James R. Osgood, agreeing with his calculation and conclusion that P&P should be given to Chatto & Windus on “the same basis”—evidently as Osgood’s agreement for the book. Sam added that “Warner is having it rough. Malaria chills & fever” [MTP].
