February 13 Monday – Sam sent Annie Neumann Hofer’s Feb. 11 letter to Chatto & Windus early in the week (Feb. 13-15) and asked them to please answer her. It was his custom to forward all such requests to his appropriate publisher.

On or about this day Sam also wrote to Franklin G. Whitmore not to “send social invitiations…across the water,” as his response wouldn’t be in a few days, as was the proper course, but a month old, and would “require a page or two of writing to explain our dilatoriness” [MTP].
