November 23 Monday – In Berlin, Sam dictated a letter to Livy for Franklin G. Whitmore. The letter was finished by Sam on Nov. 28. Sam asked Whitmore to pay a bill when presented for the repair of “the old sofa renovating hair &c,” and to forward wedding invitations and the like. Sam advised Whitmore that many of Whitmore’s “letters must have miscarried,” but still hoped to see them now that their address was settled [MTP].

W.C. (William Craibe) Angus wrote from London to Sam, sending clippings from the Illustrated London News of letters in support of his cause to create an exhibition of the relics of Scottish poet, Robert Burns [MTP]. See Sept. 30, 1889.
