November 21 Thursday – Frederick J. Hall wrote to Sam:

The only thing you have to do on the day of publication is, to cross the Canadian line, at any point, and register in some hotel in Canada and remain there during the hours of publication in England. ….P.S. If there are no hotels at which you can register at Niagara Falls in Canada, if you will post a letter or send a telegram from there that will be sufficient proof [MTP].

E. Lyde (mother of Elsie Leslie Lyde) wrote from The Percival Apartment Hotel, N.Y. to Sam, relating that Mary Mapes Dodge would like Sam’s permission to use the slipper and description of it, and her daughter’s note to Sam for the Christmas issue of the St. Nicholas. Sam wrote on the envelope, “Send Elsie’s letter” [MTP].
