December 18 Saturday – Caroline B. Le Row wrote from Brooklyn, “overwhelmed with gratitude” at Sam’s offer. She did not think it wise to have her name connected with the article which would become “English as She is Taught” while still connected with the Public Board of Education. She referred to her possible book in these letters as “Y.J.” She also was duly warned about Carleton as a publisher — “Let his name be Anathema,” and suggested Cassell & co. Might undertake her book but was open to suggestion. She had “about 175 pages, this size” [4.5”x8”] — should she send the entire MS? [MTP]. Note: Sam would use her material, gathered from various teachers and classrooms of ridiculous things students said, as material for a magazine article (“English As She Is Taught”), in return for his help in getting more of the material published as a book. Sam did not want her book published by Webster, however.
