December 19 Saturday – In London Sam added a PS to his Dec. 18 letter to Franklin G. Whitmore, that he’d forgotten to direct the disconnection of certain electric lights on the ombra and in front of Patrick McAleer’s quarters at the Farmington Ave. house. Sam also thought Patrick, after living rent-free for five years, had some nerve to charge $5 for repairing his roof; Sam thought Patrick “poor stuff.” He also asked who took the inventory of the Farmington house and was it “good & complete?” [MTP].
