July 22 Saturday – Sam added a PS to his July 18 to Hall after receiving a check for $250. He advised that Langdon would send him Livy’s interest money, “the only rainy-day money we have left, in case of sudden disaster.”

If they do get the machine done and set up in the Herald — which cannot be earlier than the middle of September — I may possibly want three or four royalties sold to live on, but I hope I shan’t have to part with more than 5 [MTLTP 351-2; also NB 33 TS 24]. Note: The typesetter was to be tested at the Chicago Herald.

Sam also sent a short PS to John Brisben Walker, owner of Cosmopolitan.

I spoke too soon — probably have to cramp Rhone into much smaller space [NB 33 TS 23]. See July 18.
