July 20 Friday – Frank Fuller wrote a postcard from NYC: “I can’t find that old rip[?] so I go alone. I will sound the uttermost depths of the concern & see you or write you” [MTP].

Charles E. Perkins wrote more of Sam’s financials, this on a tax bill [MTP].

July 20 to 30 Monday – Sam spent the days in New York attending rehearsals and helping Augustin Daly for the play Ah Sin to open on July 31. He purchased a white linen swallowtail coat for the opening and prepared a short speech. He also probably tried to sell Daly and others on producing the Simon Wheeler play, and visited friends in the city [MTLE 2: 109]. Note: When in NY, Sam rarely wanted for company.
