April 22 Tuesday – Henry Green wrote from Hartford to Sam about his new invention:

…a new system of mechanical instrument to supplant, or to be as great a novelty as the organette was. I do not expect the earth from it but I should like to find someone to help me take out the patent & put the thing where it will do some good. It is needless to tell you I am a poor man…[Sam wrote on the env., “Inventor of a musical organ. Will go & call on him”] [MTP].

Frederick J. Hall wrote to Sam having received his of Apr. 19 and 21. “I enclose herewith a number of votes. It is hardly yet time to vote on the [Ward] McAllister book, as it is not yet certain we can get it” [MTP].
