If I had ever made such a resolution I would break it now. Yours truly Mark Twain. Jan. 30/90 [MTP].

Daniel Whitford wrote to Sam that the gross receipts of P&P for the week beginning Jan. 20 were $5,433.25 and he enclosed a check for Sam’s portion with statement (not extant). Whitford had called on Frohman to again discuss foreign rights to the play — no agreement was reached [MTP].

Jacob Kryger wrote from Pensacola, Fla. to Sam, enclosing a printed circular objecting to moving the Naval Yard to New Orleans. Since Sam wrote LM, Kryger thought “no one is better qualified” for an opinion [MTP].
