November 15 Thursday – In Hartford Sam wrote to Augustin Daly. Grace King had completed a dramatization of her novel, Monsieur Motte, and Sam wanted to bring her to New York the next Tuesday (Nov. 20) to introduce her.

She wants to know whether she has written a play or not, & Mrs. Clemens & I volunteered to go down to New York with her & try to get you to tell her. Will you? And if so, at what hour may we look for you at that hotel? [Murray Hill Hotel] [MTP].
