January 22 Wednesday – Sam wrote from Hartford to Captain John E. Mouland about the awards the captain and crew received for the rescue at sea on Sam’s trip home. Again he invited Mouland to visit Hartford on his next trip, and wrote about the lot he purchased and his plans to have a house built there while he was in England [MTL 5: 277].

Sam also wrote to his sister Pamela:

“Ma & Annie have just come—7 PM. They have been steadily on the road, 31 hours, & are rather tired…” [MTL 5: 279].

M. Nott delivered and certified a load of wood had a certain amount of feet [MTP].
