November 10 Wednesday – Sarah Knowles Bolton wrote from N.Y. to Sam. “Thank you for your temperance article. I enjoyed it immensely” [MTP]. Note: “Concerning a Reformed Pledge: A New-Year Sermon.”

Webster & Co. Per Frank M. Scott (Bradley to Webster & Co. Nov. 13 enclosed) sent Sam a bill from Bradley & Hubbard Mfg. Co. for 57 bronze busts of General Grant, amounting to $798, ordered by William N. Woodruff in the name of Webster & Co. Did Sam know about this or authorize it? Scott wrote that Webster did not know about it [MTP].

In the morning, Sam may have executed his new position as Reader for a Browning group. (See Nov. 16 to Fairbanks.)
