June 16 Thursday – In Hartford Sam wrote to Charles Webster. He thought Webster’s settlement with J.M. Stoddart .was “quite fortunate” (see June 14 from Webster). He’d written William L. Alden as Webster requested, declining the Garibaldi autobiography. He advised of their plans to reach New York en route to Elmira about June 21 (they arrived in New York on June 22). Sam also mentioned possible books and enclosed one he felt would work well in about a year. He also informed Webster that he would keep The Man Wonderful in the House Beautiful. An Allegory Teaching the Principles of Physiology and Hygiene, and the Effects of Stimulants and Narcotics (1888), by Chilion Brown Allen and Mary A. Allen [MTLTP 218; On this last book, see Gribben 19].
