June 10 Tuesday – Jane Clemens wrote a short paragraph of delusion to her long-dead parents; Orion Clemens added to it a letter to Sam finished June 15 [MTP].

Richard W. Gilder for Century Magazine wrote to Sam:

I don’t know why you should say that the paragraph you send me has a “doubtful look.” If matrimony is a good thing the more of it the better. To be sure I never heard of the young lady whom, according to the papers, I am to marry in June, but probably this proves that the match was truly made in heaven [MTP].

Robert Underwood Johnson for American Copyright League wrote to Sam that “things look bright at Washington” for the copyright legislation [MTP].
