September 11 Saturday – In Elmira Sam wrote to Frederick J. Hall, asking again when Webster would arrive back from his trip to Europe. Sam submitted a proposed reply to someone who had asked why Webster & Co. Needed data about compositor production. Sam’s answer: for Hall to give to the person who had implied invasion of privacy the explanation that the owner of the firm was interested in “a printing invention” and needed such data to determine the size of the market [MTLTP 207].

Sade E. Bond wrote thanking Sam for his help. “Miss Dickinson informed me of your second great kindness to me, and I wish to say that I gratefully appreciate what you have done…” [MTP]. Note: Miss Bond had been the recipient of money from Sam at the request of Dickinson.
