June 9 Tuesday – Sam was in New York. He gave notice to his canvassers that volume two of Grant’s work would soon be published. Perry writes that Sam:

“…contracted for the use of twelve more printing presses and seven more bindaries, all of which combined would produce one set of memoirs every second. All of Twain’s funds were now tied up in printing, marketing, and distributing Grant’s memoirs” [203].

From Sam’s notebook:

Paper contract for 2 years let to Warren & Co, Boston, at 6 1/3 cents per pound—they charged Osgood 8½ for the same paper for Life on the Mississippi at a time when the market was lower than it is now. We may possibly want 600 tons of it—we already require 300.

Called on Genl. Grant to-day [MTNJ 3: 160].
