August 19 Saturday – Sam wrote from Hartford to Adolph H. Sutro.

“Got your letter to-day. When do you sail? Can’t you run up here for one day? I’m awful busy on my new book…Riley is in England—London.”

Sutro arrived in New York on Aug. 22 and sailed for England eight days later, to gain investors for his proposed tunnel into the Comstock Lode. His response to Sam on this letter is unknown. John Henry Riley had returned from South Africa to London [MTL 4: 447].
