January 1 Monday  Sam arrived in the evening to lecture in Association Hall, Indianapolis, Indiana  “Roughing It in Nevada” [Schmidt].

Sam was billed $21 by Hartford Drs. Taft & Starr for “professional services from July 1, 1871 to Jan 1 1872” [MTP].

James Redpath published his “Lyceum Circular,” announcing that Sam would not repeat the “Artemus Ward”  lecture this season but would deliver a new lecture called “Roughing It” [Lorch 120].

Editor Note
The Indiana Historical Bureau notes that the venue was the YMCA's Association Hall. This was possibly the Athenaeum.
