June 19 Tuesday – In Hartford Sam wrote to O.E. Dunlap of Niagara Falls, N.Y., who evidently notified him of someone impersonating him on a lecture platform.

I always hear of these frauds a day or so too late.

Sam wanted to hear about someone impersonating him 24 hours ahead of time for a change [MTP]. Note: Dunlap was an editor who would assemble books on the history of Niagara Falls.

Frederick Allison Tupper for Arms Academy, Shelburne Falls, Mass. wrote to Sam for financial support to increase their endowment, since Sam was “a direct descendant of Titus Flavius Clemens” [MTP].
