November 17 Thursday – On or about this day, Sam and Livy went to New York, no doubt at least in part in response to Mary Mason Fairbanks’ inability to visit Hartford. It was often their custom to go late in the week and return on Saturday, as at least for a period, Sam wrote there were no trains on Sunday.

Florence T. McCray wrote from Hartford to Sam asking for “a few lines” for the City Mission Fair’s small daily (four issues). Sam wrote “No” on the envelope [MTP].

L..       Oppenheimer for The Asylum, N.Y. wrote to Sam asking if he had any “second-hand articles on hand, something that you …would like to introduce anonymously” to test the effect [MTP].

Parker L. Walter for Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegram wrote to Sam asking for an article. Sam wrote on the envelope, “Tell him [I] am 38 fair-articles behind-hand” [MTP].
