October 5 Thursday – In New York, Sam wrote on Webster & Co. letterhead to daughter Clara, responding to her “dear sweet letter” he found upon arrival in New York. Sam sent her an assortment of postage stamps for her to write more. On the reverse side of the letter he wrote:

Charley Warner is insisting that you go there, when you go to Hartford, & make that your headquarters, (with your trunk there), & visiting around among the Twichells and Robinsons from there [MTP].

Sam also wrote a few lines on Players Club letterhead to Livy. If the “giving away of L.A.L.” was made certain, he would cable “Things look better,” or some such. He wrote he was being called away and signed, “goodbye dear old sweetheart” [MTP].
