Franklin G. Whitmore wrote to Sam that he’d ordered 1,000 envelopes for $21.80 and would send a few packages when they arrived. Expenses for the Haynes St. office were $1,242.51: typesetter $950.51; Patent $259.50; Motor $32.50, for which he drew a check to James W. Paige; Whitmore also noted he expressed the MS of HF to Josephus Nelson Larned, Librarian at Buffalo [MTP]. Note: the famous “lost half” rediscovered in 1990. Larned was a co-editor with Sam on the Buffalo Express.
