December 21 Friday – In Paris, Sam sent a cablegram to H.H. Rogers:

Can you delay final action one month / Clemens [MTHHR 108].

Note: Sam explained his cable in his Dec. 22 to Rogers. Likely Rogers had cabled (not extant) that the Paige typesetter was judged a final failure at the Chicago Herald.

H.H. Rogers also wrote to Sam, the letter not extant but mentioned in Sam’s Jan. 2, 1895 to Rogers.
