March 21 Friday – Robert L. Niles wrote to Sam asking the possibility of reviving The Gilded Age play. Sam wrote on the envelope, “Brer, I will answer or dictate / SLC / This must go to Howells I guess” [MTP].

Mary Russell Perkins wrote to solicit Sam’s annual subscription of charity to the Hartford Orphan Asylum. Sam wrote on the envelope, “Brer, Send $10. SLC” [MTP].

Daniel Whitford wrote to Sam (TS of Frohman to Whitford Feb. 12 enclosed):

What Frohman does in this direction does not of course change your rights…. If you wish suit to be brought against him we will begin at once but I am inclined to think that the matter had better rest….I do not think we will rest long in this position but that we will probably hear from him [MTP].

Note: Sam wrote on the envelope, “Brer, tell him all right for a very little while — then I shall probably want to sue Frohman.”
