June 7 Wednesday – Sam telegraphed from Hartford to Charles Webster about mailing a check to buy 80 shares of a stock suggested by Webster, which may have been for American Bank Note Co. (See June 12 letter to Webster) [MTP].

Orion Clemens wrote from Fredonia to Sam. Ma had experienced some sort of “spasms” and he related her care. It was a “terrible fright” [MTP].

William M. Laffan wrote to Sam having rec’d his of June 5 (not extant). He replied that the artist Edwin A. Abbey was in Europe and Smith was not available. “I would like to come up and make the sketches myself,” then send them to Abbey “to draw for ‘process’ abroad” [MTP]. Note: Laffan also mentions telegraphing “this evening.”
