October 24 Sunday – Sam was in Washington, D.C. He met with General Sheridan this day or the next.

Caroline B. Le Row wrote from Brooklyn with news that since Sam had not authorized her to do a calendar of his sayings, she and a friend did one of Henry Ward Beecher. “Cassell & Co. Will rejoice the public eye and heart with it next week….I mention this merely as proof that I bear no grudges and am as fond of you as ever.” On the envelope Sam wrote, “Thank her” [MTP].
