July 15 Tuesday – Sam may have gone to Hartford with Frank Fuller, as per Livy’s July 16 letter.

William J. Hamersley wrote to Sam about the “Personal loan” of $2,500 due on July 1 and still unpaid. The letter is smeared and partly illegible [MTP]. Note: see July 11 with Sam’s counterclaim of Hamersley owing about $30,000 on the Paige typesetter, which likely explains this unpaid “loan.”

Howard P. Taylor wrote from N.Y. to Sam that he had “put the finishing touches” on the CY play and now he had to get a manager “to father it.” He reported he’d “departed greatly from the book but retained a number of your effects.” When and where could he read it to Sam? [MTP].

Connecticut Trust and Safe Deposit Co. receipted $10 For storage & safekeeping of tin Box; expires July 17, 1891 [MTP].

July, mid – Webster & Co., issued the eleventh and last volume of the series Library of American Literature [MTNJ 3: 614n145].
