March 22 Tuesday – Sam wrote from Buffalo to James Redpath, his lecture circuit agent.

“Dear Red: I am not going to lecture any more forever. I have got things ciphered down to a fraction now. I know just about what it will cost us to live & I can make the money without lecturing. Therefore old man, count me out” [MTL 4: 94].

March 22 and 24 Thursday – Sam and Livy wrote from Buffalo to Mary Mason Fairbanks. Sam told Mary about his plans to edit a humorous department for the Galaxy [MTL 4: 95]. Space prohibits inserting all of the back and forth of the newlyweds, but reading these letters does make Sam & Livy come through as flesh & blood.
