September 9 Thursday – “Butler on the Byron Scandal,” attributed to Sam, ran in the Express [McCullough 38].

Sam finished the letter to Livy, begun the previous day. He wrote about Feb. 4 being the wedding date (it turned out to be Feb. 2,) his writing to Redpath of that fact, and about Charles Langdon, who had left for a trip around the world [MTL 3: 348-9].

Sam sent “PERSONAL” notice to the Lyceums about fulfilling lecture dates until Jan. 10. The notice was printed in the Buffalo Express on Sept. 11 [MTL 3: 351].
