Note: On or after this day Lyon wrote on the letter for Sam: “I remember the name Angus McD very well—although couldn’t have known him as I was a small boy—I could not have been in the fight for the reason that I was not in Hannibal in the year 1847 after my father’s death in Mar.” [MTP].

T.C. Bigelow for Illustrated Press Bureau wrote to ask Sam for “really good photographs,” especially in his “cream-colored suit” [MTP].
