July 14 Monday – In New York City at the Hoffman House, Sam wrote again to John Russell Young who turned Sam down to go to Hartford and view the Paige typesetter. Sam felt he might not be back in the City for another month. Aside from lobbying support for the Paige, Sam reviewed rehearsals of Howard P. Taylor’s dramatization of CY.

John R. Young for N.Y. Herald wrote to Sam: “I will arrange or try at least to get to Hartford on Friday evening with Charles Jewell [sp?]. This would allow me to see the machine, and return on Saturday.” (encl. in Goodman July 18) [MTP].
