July 13 Wednesday – Frederick J. Hall wrote to Sam, replying to his July 12 note that it might do to rush the Kalakaua’s Hawaiian legends book into canvass.

…there are a great many drawings and woodcuts under way, so that if you decide to rush the book, it can be done without much trouble. [He also wrote that] the Crawford book is all printed, and will be out probably in a week; and I am just returning to the printer the last galley proofs of the Hancock book [MTLTP 219n1].

Arthur H. Wright for Webster & Co. wrote to Sam (enclosed in Hall July 13 above).

Dr. W.A.M. Wainwright of Hartford wrote to Sam having received his letter this afternoon, which evidently asked about the condition of Charles Webster and an operation for a similar malady that Wainwright and Dr. M. Storrs has performed previously. Wainwright gave general, qualified answers [MTP].
