September 13 Wednesday – Pamela Moffett wrote from Quincy, Ill. To thank him for his “kind and generous forethought”—they’d had a “very comfortable journey.” She’d just received a draft for $1,900 from the sale of the Independent Watch Co. stock. “I feel very grateful to every body who had a share in getting me out of this scrape,” especially Sam and also Charles Webster [MTP].

Charles A. Dana of the NY Sun wrote to Sam wanting 4 stories 3,000 to 3500 words. He allowed Sam to “pile it on” as to the price [MTP].
