March 22 Saturday – † In Hartford on or just after this date Sam wrote on Whitford’s Mar. 21 envelope to Franklin G. Whitmore:

Brer, tell him all right for a very little while — then I shall probably want to sue Frohman [MTP].

Charles J. Langdon wrote to Sam that his friend, Mr. Frank Blopim [?] of the Cunard and Inman Steamship Lines would like to secure Sam’s “accommodations on any steamship of these lines you may desire to go on.” Langdon advised the City of Paris or the City of New York [MTP]. Note: at this time Sam was planning to take the family to Europe, a migration which was put off until 1891.

Joe Twichell wrote to sympathize with Sam on the Edward House matter, reaffirming his opinion of Sam as a man of his word. House had never brought up the subject of the disputed play with Twichell, but if he ever did, Joe would confirm to him that Sam was a man of his word [MTP].
