March 16 MondayFrederick J. Hall wrote to Sam about “A Mr. Bruce, an author [who] comes to us introduced by a letter from Colonel Higginson. He has a scheme for writing a Life of Cleveland.” Hall was doubtful the book would pay, though if Cleveland were nominated Hall thought there would be a “demand for a good life of him”; if not, there wouldn’t be [MTP].

James B. Pond wrote to Sam that he was giving a dinner Apr. 11 at the Lotos Club for Henry M. Stanley before Stanley left for Europe. “You are most respectfully invited, and expected,” and could he please respond to Thomas W. Knox at the Club. Pond reported that Stanley was “now a great lecturer” and “drawing big houses” [MTP]. Note: Pond was managing Stanley for this period.
