January 11 Wednesday – Sam returned to Hartford.

Frederick J. Collier wrote from Hudson, N.Y. to Sam. Collier had become owner of a huge (5’x4’) painting of Samson and Delilah originally purchased by Dr. Edward Andrews on the Quaker City excursion. Did Sam recollect the painting or the purchase — where the doctor bought it? [MTP]. See Jan. 16 for Sam’s humorous reply.

Augustin Daly for Daly’s Theatre wrote to Sam, “will you sign both these papers of [illegible word] & return them to me” [MTP].
