May 25 Wednesday – In Hartford Sam wrote to Charles Webster.

The new contract has arrived. Livy & I got more business-satisfaction & comprehension out of your visit than any amount of working through third parties could have furnished.

Sam again assured Webster that all was settled and satisfactory, and that he would do “everything…to keep it so” [MTP]. Note: if lingering resentment survived the contract agreement and Webster’s visit to Hartford, Sam’s letters do not show it.

Miss Katie L. Corbett wrote from England asking Sam to “please do” write a history of England, “thinking it would be …delicious…if you wrote it, and made a few variations of corse [sic]” [MTP].
