September 3 Saturday – In Elmira Sam wrote to Franklin G. Whitmore about a bill received which he perceived was a “mere legal formality” — probably from Pratt & Whitney Co., which was now full speed ahead building the new Paige typesetter. Whitmore should “file it away” [MTP].

Laura C. Redden Searing (Howard Glyndon) wrote to Sam that he would remember her “as your correspondent some years ago on a literary matter.” She asked for a loan [MTP].

W.R. Ward for Kitty Rhoades wrote from Susquehanna, Penn. to Sam asking for the “privilege to try and dramatize our ‘Tom Sawyer’”. Sam wrote on the envelope, “Unmailed letters” [MTP]. Note: Rhoades later starred in stage productions of Tom Sawyer.

Webster & Co. Wrote to Sam that they’d “made a mistake” giving the name of the artist who illustrated Edward House’s article in the Sept. Scribner’s — the artist’s name was J. Foster Barnes [MTP].
