October 24 Tuesday – In New York Sam sent a note to Frederick J. Hall directing him to send $175 to the steamer office for passage and funds for daughter Clara and her teacher’s daughter, Miss Katherine Willard.

I go to Hartford at noon to-morrow, (Wednesday) with my daughter. Please re-mail such letters as may arrive for us up to Saturday noon….Open all telegrams & re-wire them to me. SLC [MTP].

Charles J. Langdon wrote to Sam that he’d received a letter from Clara advising of her arrival in New York. The rest of the letter involves finances, Livy’s account, etc. Sam wrote at the top of the letter “Dear Mr. Hall: Don’t wait for Nov. 5. Send Langdon the money now” [MTP].
