January 21 Saturday – At the Hotel Krantz in Vienna, Austria, Sam cabled a response to a cable this day from H.H. Rogers. Rogers: “PROFIT $16,000.” Sam: “SPLENDID BIRD, SET HER AGAIN” [MTHHR 386n1 mentions; NB 40 TS 53].

Sam also wrote a PS to his recent (non-extant) letter to Franklin G. Whitmore. P.S. Please hurry Bliss up gently with his January statement; & you can save me a copy of the statement; but have the check drawn in favor of “The City Bank, Bond street Branch” (34 Old Bond street, London) [MTP].
