February 15 Sunday – In Hartford Sam wrote to Frederick J. Hall enclosing a note (not extant) from Grace King about publishing a book from a widow.

MTLTP notes suggests “probably A History of Louisiana by King and John R. Ficklen.” However, Sam’s letter to Grace King two days after this to Hall (Feb. 17) names the biography of Charles Gayarré, who Bush notes that Sam mistakenly thought was dead [45]. See Feb. 17 entry for details of Gayarré.

Well, say something which I can send to Miss Grace. I’m not particular what [MTLTP 269].
