September 28 Wednesday – Sam wrote to Richard Watson Gilder of Century Magazine, submitting Meisterschaft, a 3-act bilingual play he wrote in 1886-7 for family entertainment to. It ran in Jan. 1888’s issue with a few changes [MTNJ 3: 333n95].

I had a hell of a time reading this proof, which was set up by an Americanized Finn [MTP].

Frederick J. Hall for Webster & Co. wrote to Sam that Mr. George Frederick Kunz, “the gem expert at Tiffany’s,” was shopping a book on gems, which Hall felt would be costly “to get up” [MTLTP 236n1]. See Sam to Webster & Co. Oct. 17 for Sam’s rejection of this book.

Caroline B. Le Row sent Sam a clipping of her letter to the editor of the Brooklyn Eagle [MTP].
