January 16 Monday – Isabel Lyon’s journal: Very busy with much writing to do. Mother came in the afternoon. I went this evening to a Beethoven concert with Francesca and Rosamond—such sweet children. There was a stupid lecture on Beethoven and then 3 beautiful numbers. I met Mrs. Nowell, the one who sketched Mr. Clemens for The Outlook—and some Tuesday I am going up for a dish of tea with her. I had a late game of cards with Mr. Clemens, on my return from the concert [MTP: TS 37]. Note: Kate Rogers Nowell.

Isabel Lyon’s journal 2: “Mr. Stanchfield had a long talk with Mr. Clemens” [MTP TS 2].

Margaret Lee wrote from Brooklyn to Sam, to “congratulate you and thank you for opening the Perpetual Copyright Campaign of 1905 in your own masterly manner” [MTP].

January 16? Monday – At 21 Fifth Ave. in N.Y.C. Sam wrote to Harper’s Weekly, concerning the loss of copyright and royalties for Harriet Beecher Stowe before her death. In its Jan. 7 issue, the magazine had reprinted Sam’s quote from the Jan. issue of the North American Review. The quotation was printed within a Jan. 10 letter by Houghton Mifflin & Co. Sam argued he was not after publishers on the copyright issue, but was “hunting lawmakers, & lawmakers alone” [MTP].
