August 25 Thursday – Ralph W. Ashcroft wrote on Plasmon Co. letterhead to Sam, now in Great Neck, Long Island at the home of Urban H. Broughton.

I find I was mistaken. The letter Wheeler received at the Waldorf from Bergheim’s secretary simply acknowledged receipt of [Harold] Wheeler’s letter of August 5th. The London people, however, wrote the Plasmon co. a letter (which I received to-day, and suppressed as Attorney-in-fact of International Plasmon) confirming Campbell’s removal and telling them they had appointed you. This was written August 16th, long after we had kicked at their cabling to Campbell [MTP].
