November 25 Friday – In Hartford Sam wrote to Mary Mason Fairbanks in New York that he planned to leave Hartford Monday, Nov. 28 on the 12:30 p.m. train, then go to his office at 3 East 14th Street, and then to Chickering Hall to give a reading at 2 or 2:15 p.m., depending on the office business. After the lecture he intended to take the 4:30 p.m. train home in order to “meet a business engagement next morning (Nov. 29). Sam thought the reading didn’t start until 2:30 — could she drop by his office at 1:30? They might walk or drive to the lecture together [MTP; MTMF 262]. Note: See Nov. 28 for Sam’s reading.

Clews, Habicht & Co. Sent notice and check to Sam for a dividend of £2.2.4 [MTP].

Chatto & Windus wrote to Sam, “greatly delighted with your letter to the Queen published in the Dec. No. of Harper’s” (seven letters enclosed about the Inland Revenue tax) [MTP].
