June 10 Friday – Sam and Livy returned to Hartford from their short “vacation” to Frederick E. Church’s mansion near Hudson, New York [MTNJ 3: 293n227].

E.S. Walton of New York, whose enclosed card reads, “Leading Comedian” wrote to Sam:

What arrangements terms can be made — by me — for the production of your play — “The Gilded Age.”( Col. Sellers”), my idea is to produce the same at the popular [illegible] Theatres. [MTP]. Note: Sam wrote on the envelope, “Tell him arrangements have already been made.”
