March 14 Friday – Theodore S. Parvin for Grand Lodge of Iowa wrote Sam asking for any of his manuscripts for a museum of Iowa writers. Due to Sam’s early days in Keokuk and Muscatine, Parvin wished to claim Sam as an Iowa writer [MTP].

Author’s Clipping Bureau wrote to Sam soliciting Sam for their service and touting 25 reviews already gathered for CY. Sam wrote on the envelope, “Brer, please decline this service, on his postal card SLC” [MTP].

Howard P. Taylor wrote to Sam promoting Mr. Burbank for Hank Morgan in a CY play. Taylor had seen Burbank in “Sweet Lavender” and thought him just right. “Have finished the prologue, or introduction, and am about to start on the first act…” [MTP]. Note: Taylor was writing CY as a play.
