April 2 Thursday – Charles J. Langdon telegraphed from the Gilsey House in N.Y. for Sam to send “any and all bonds you may have of the Clearfield Bituminous Coal Corp.” He then wrote to Sam:

Since I telegraphed you this morning I have had a delightful call [visit] from Livy and Susy, and to them explained about the Clearfield bonds; that is to say, I am advised from Elmira that they were sent to Mr. Olmsted, with mine, at Harrisburg, and that we have a receipt for them.

I am very sorry to see Livy looking so thin and worn [MTP].

James B. Pond wrote from Atlanta, Ga. to Sam, enclosing Henry M. Stanley’s lecture route, which included 115 stops from Nov. 11, 1890 to Apr. 4, 1891 as far west as Oakland, Calif. Pond wrote that Mr. Knox had not received word from Sam that he’d be at the dinner on Apr. 11, and urged, “You must be there unless you haved something against Mr. Stanley, and would like to break his heart” [MTP].
