November 16 Wednesday – In Hartford Sam wrote to Mary Mason Fairbanks — obviously a response to a letter from her (not extant) to get together while she was in New York. Sam’s letter was addressed c/o Chas. M. Fairbanks [her son] at the New York Sun office.

We haven’t made out to get to New York yet — and that’s no good scheme, anyway: we are always on a rush, there, & no chance to sit down & have a comfortable talk. It will be infinitely better if you can run up here….Mother Langdon is here, & Charley’s Julia [Langdon] will come up Thanksgiving day [Nov. 24] from New York, where she is at school at 715 Fifth Ave [MTP; MTMF 261].

Edward P. Craven wrote from Schooley’s Mountain, N.J. to Sam, thanking him for using his influence on his behalf by communicating with the President [MTP]. Note: the object is not specified.
