December 25 Saturday – Christmas – Sam wrote from Boston to Livy wishing her a happy Christmas.
“I shall expect a letter in the loved & familiar hand in New Haven day after tomorrow, though—& a month after that, we shall close our long correspondence, & tell each other what our minds suggest, by word of mouth. Speed the day!” [MTL 3: 435].
Sam’s article, “Ye Cuban Patriot – A Calm Inspection of Him” ran in the Express [McCullough 117].
