September 21 Friday – Sam’s notebook: [Chk #] 4322, Sep.21 $100 — JL & Co. [3: 477].

Kingsland Smith for St. Paul Roller Mill Co. wrote to Sam that he’d received his Sept. 1 letter asking to sell his 100 shares of stock, but his “means were so tied up” [MTP].

Webster & Co. wrote that for some reason they hadn’t received Sam’s former letter about Beecher’s “Life of Christ” — “We will take steps at once and see what arrangements we can make about getting back the $5,000 and giving up the work.” Hall explained the timeframe on Daggett’s Hawaiian Legends book, having stalled for over a year. The book was all set up and plates had been made — why not print 500 or so and bind just a few? [MTP].
