January 7 Monday – At 169 rue de l’Université in Paris Sam wrote to Chatto & Windus, enclosing a Dec. 26 letter from Frank Hall Scott (1848-1912), president of The Century Co. The letter inquired about a Mr. F. Fauveau translating The £1,000,000 Bank-Note and Other New Stories to French. Sam responded:

All authorities of this sort in your hands, thank goodness!

Whether Chatto approved or disapproved, would he please write Mr. Fauveau [MTP]. See Dec. 26, 1894.

Frank Bliss of the American Publishing Co. wrote to Sam that “he would presently send check to New York of something more than $1,000 on the old copyrights.” Bliss’ letter is not extant but is mentioned in Sam’s Feb. 8 to Rogers [MTHHR 128-130 & n1].
