November 29? Sunday  Sam wrote from New York to his sister, Pamela Moffett:

Now—Private—Keep it to yourself, my sister—do not even hint it, to any one—I make no exception. I can trust you. I love—I worship—Olivia L. Langdon, of Elmira—& she loves me. When I am permanently settled—& when I am a Christian—& when I have demonstrated that I have a good, steady, reliable character, her parents will withdraw their objections, & she may marry me—say she will—I intend she shall—… [MTL 2: 295].
