February 25 Saturday – In Dublin, N.H. Abbott H. Thayer sent a telegram to Sam: “This very great joy to us plenty houses visit us immediately and choose one / A H Thayer.” On the backside of the telegram Sam wrote in pencil what appears to be a response telegram, “Too ill to travel will send representative Shall you be there to see her—Please wire” [MTP]. Note: Henry Copley Greene’s Dublin house, “Lone Tree Hill” on the slope of Mt. Monadnock was chosen. Greene (1871-1951) was an author from an old New England family.

Charles E. Dana wrote to Miss Lyon that he had heard Henry Copley Greene had a house in Dublin, N.H. to lease for the summer. He gave George W. Gleason as the agent for houses there—“he runs the town so your standing with him means life or death” [MTP].
