October 29 Saturday – Sam wrote from Buffalo to Elisha Bliss. Sam disrespected one “Colonel” Albert S. Evans. Sam berated Bliss for never sending him books, and mentioned three: Albert Deane Richardson’s Beyond the Mississippi (1867); Charles De Wolf Brownell’s The Indian Races of North and South America (1865); and John George Wood’s The Uncivilized Races, or Natural History of Man.
Sam added that Livy had been sick in bed for a week but was much better. Livy had come close to delivering prematurely [MTL 4: 216-7 &n3-4].
