March 20 Monday – Sam wrote from Hartford to Charles Webster, asking him to:

“…thank Mr. Whitford for his efforts to get me a stenographer, but I had already secured one, just before your letter came” [MTNJ 2: 517].

Sam also typed a short note to John Russell Young, who had replied to Sam’s request for a visit. “Name the day yourself” Sam offered [MTP].

Abbott H. Thayer wrote a postcard from Peekskill, NY to Sam that the portrait was “all that I hoped” but would like Sam to come to NY for one hour [MTP].
