July 9 Monday – An unsigned favorable review to LM ran on page 3 of the New York Times.
Charles A. Dana, editor of the New York Sun, wrote to Sam on a mysterious opportunity. The letter implies a recent answer by Sam to an invitation to come to New York to confer with Dana:
Dear Mr Clemens:
I’m sorry you can’t come sooner; but don’t make any new contracts in the mean time.
I think I can put you in the way of making more money out of your brains than you have ever made.
Yours Truly C.A. Dana [MTP]. Note: see reply of July 11.
