May 17, 1889 Friday

May 17 FridayAlfred Waters wrote from Auckland, NZ to Sam seeking an autograph [MTP].

Frederick J. Hall wrote to Sam about a proposed book by “the wife of ‘Lannigan’ who wrote so many ballads and fables some of which, you will remember are quoted in ‘Library of Humor’. / There certainly would be no sale for a book, such as she proposes, by subscription; there might be a demand for a cheap trade book…” Hall had said nothing definite to Stedman about reading Sam’s CY manuscript [MTP]. Note: probably George T. Lanigan.
