October 8 Monday – Christen Thomsen Christensen, New York manager of the banking firm of Drexel, Morgan & Co. wrote to Sam. Christensen was the former Danish consul in New York. He asked Sam to meet with Henrik Cavling, a Danish journalist who was in the U.S. reporting on the 1888 election [MTNJ 3: 427]. Note: after the death of Anthony Drexel in 1895, Drexel, Morgan & Co. became J.P. Morgan & Co., bankers.

Alexandra Gripenberg wrote a belated thank you from London for Sam’s letter of introduction to Henry Alden. She was delayed in getting into N.Y. and thus did not see Alden [MTP].
