June 21 Sunday – Frederick D. Grant wrote from Mt. MacGregor. “Your very kind letter was received. As I agree with what you say there is no chance of an argument on the matter contained in it. My poor dear father is worse again today. I would like (to try) to write you a snice a letter as you have me; but on account of his feeling so badly I am unable to do so” [MTP].

Courtlandt Palmer wrote from Stoningham, Conn. to ask if he would “consider an appearance before the Nineteenth Century Club next winter on the subject of American Humor”[MTP]. Note: Sam wrote on the env., “Humor lecture”
