September 2 Friday – Sam wrote from Buffalo to Orion. Sam was so grateful for Orion’s memorandum books on their trip to Nevada, that he promised him $1,000 from royalties [MTL 4: 186].

Sam and Livy wrote to Mary Mason Fairbanks. Most of the letter was a discussion of Britisher George MacDonald’s 1868 book, Robert Falconer, which Mary had recommended. Sam added: “Miss Emma Nye is here & is right sick” [MTL 4: 189]. Note: McDonald (1824-1905).
