February 26 ThursdayFrederick J. Hall sent a note for renewal for Sam to endorse. He also wrote of the Sherman book; that they didn’t own the plates nor the copyrights and that he’d told the Shermans that “if we went into the expense of getting out a large cheap edition, as they want, we would have to have them advance the money for it…” [MTP]. Note: At the bottom Hall wrote: “Later. P.S. The Shermans have given us a check for $3500.00 on account of expense of cheap edition.”

John C. Kinney wrote from Hartford on Army and Navy Club stationery to Sam: “I can guess that your dispatch is from Milton Bassett of New Britain (formerly of my old Reg’t) –odd stick, who is said to have gone crazy” [MTP].
