May 1 Friday – Sam wrote from Elmira to William A. Seaver, a writer for Harper’s (he wrote the “Editor’s Drawer” for the monthly magazine). Sam sent a page from a sketch published without authorization by J.B. Brown of the Galena (Illinois) Gazette. Sam asked Seaver –“can’t you get it into your Drawer & shame the thief?” Sam also asked if Seaver and John Hay would visit him in Hartford next winter [MTL 6: 123].
