November 7 Saturday – James Fraser Glück (1852-1897) for Young Men’s Assoc. Buffalo wrote to ask for the HF MS for display in their library [MTP]. Note: Sam wrote on the env., “Sent what was left of Huck Finn / Buffalo Library”

George E. Waring wrote on Union League Club notepaper, NYC that he’d come “near invading you last week. I shall have that pleasure soon” [MTP].

Charles Webster wrote, sorry Sam was sick and hoped it was nothing serious. “I have taken means to stop the matter you speak about and I think the plans on foot will stop it effectively.” He’d told Col. Grant that “in telegraphic communication with you we had decided that it must not be published…” [MTP]. Note: this was likely about Rice’s attempt to publish Col. Grant’s book or excerpts from Grant’s Memoirs in a reminiscences book (see Nov. 10).
