August 5 Sunday – A few minutes after returning from Long Island, Sam wrote to Livy about going after his JA MS on Friday afternoon and leaving with Harry Harper for a two-day visit. No letter from her awaited him. Sam explained that he needed to be accessible to H.H. Rogers, for Urban H. Broughton was expected this night and he hoped to get through with the business of settling on a typesetter royalty per thousand ems and other decisions in time for him to sail on Aug. 11.
