December 18 Thursday – Sam’s notebook:

Framing new contract with Robinson & Whitmore [3: 595].

Note: note #80 here explains the new agreement aimed at guaranteeing Sam a nine-tenths interest in the typesetter even should Sam fail to buy out James W. Paige by the deadline of Feb. 13, 1891. Henry C. Robinson drew the contract, which would be sent to Paige on Dec. 26. See Paige’s response in that day’s entry.

Orion wrote to Sam for Mollie Clemens, who had a headache, about finding a memorandum of Ma’s that left the breast pin to Mollie, who wished “Livy would make some request” about some dresses of Ma’s [MTP].
