August 18 Thursday – In Elmira Sam wrote to Franklin G. Whitmore with miscellaneous business items and questions about Paige office expenses, the motor which had been built for the typesetter, drawings for Pratt & Whitney Co. (which then had six months to complete building the new typesetter) and with questions about payment to them. Sam’s spirits were up:

Land, but it is good to see daylight ahead at last! I feel cheerful again.

Sam added after his signature that they would leave for Hartford Sept. 14, stopping “2 or 3 days” in New York [MTP].
