September 24 Saturday – In Hartford Sam wrote to his sister-in-law, Susan L. Crane, thanking her for pictures sent of the cats, and of William (farm hand?) and a horse. Sam also had an idea to improve Quarry Farm life:
When you & Theo come, I will take him down town & discuss an electric light plant for the farm — make your own electricity on the premises; $700 or $1000 for the plant; after that, no expense, no wear-&-tear [MTP].
Romeike & Leavitt, a N.Y. press clippings bureau, wrote to Sam (clipping enclosed) offering to send clippings from leading American newspapers. Sam wrote on the envelope, “No Sir” [MTP].
