March 24 Wednesday – At the Normandie Hotel in New York, Sam met in the morning with Charles Webster; later with Jesse Grant who was negotiating to gain part ownership in Webster & Co. [Mar. 19 to Webster].

The editors of Domestic Monthly, “Illustrated Magazine of Fashion, Literature and the Fine Arts” (for young women) wrote to Sam seeking input to the question, “What personal qualities in a wife are most necessary to the promotion of happiness in married life?” — a short note would do. Sam wrote on the envelope, “Symposium-beggar” [MTP].
