February 8 Tuesday – William A. Wood, atty. in Kingston, Mo. wrote to Sam, again pestering him for a copy of IA which Wood claimed had been promised. It would seem this time Sam never opened the letter, and someone later (Paine?) did so [MTP].

Stephen C. Massett (Jeems Pipes) wrote to Sam clippings pasted on the one page note on NY Hotel notepaper. “Thanks for your kind invitation—will wire you when I come. “Show” went off splendidly—inclose programme”. One clipping quoted Robert J. Burdette’s remarks about Hartford, the other, “A Lecturer’s Remarkable Success” told of a last minute substitute for Twain “in a certain Eastern town” who thought the stand-in was Twain and so came prepared to laugh; they roared with laughter at every serious thing he said—except he was a temperance man who finally got disgusted and left [MTP].
