September 23 Monday – In Hartford Sam wrote to Dora Wheeler, turning down her invitation to visit in early October. Sam responded that he had to write due to Livy’s pinkeye, which she’d suffered from since last February, and that guests were expected for the first half of October (Frank Finlay and daughter Miss Mary Finlay; Pamela Moffett); he felt “it would be noble spree, & most sorry we are that we can’t be in it” [MTP].

Sam wrote to Opha Moore editor of Light, letter not extant but referred to in Moore’s Sept. 25 [MTP].

Webster & Co. per E.H.R. wrote to Sam that they’d recd the corrected pages of CY and that more proofs of pictures would be sent that day, with more page proofs sent the next day [MTP].
