July 13 Sunday – In New York at the Hoffman House, Sam wrote to John Russell Young of the N.Y. Herald soliciting him to “go up to Hartford” with him “& look at the machine.”

Tomorrow? Next day? Or Wednesday? We can leave here at 9 a.m., you know, & you can be back in New York at 6.30 pm if you are limited as to time. / Drop me a line to the Hoffman [MTP].

John Russell Young for N.Y. Herald wrote to thank Sam for his invitation to come view the typesetter in Hartford; he hoped to run up next week or the week after:

I forgot to tell you last evening, that I saw Stanley in Cairo, and the other day in London. He charged me with special messages to you, and yours, of good will and friendship — I never saw him look better than he does now, in the twenty three years of our friendship [MTP].
