March 23 Tuesday – At 23 Tedworth Square in London, Sam wrote a postcard to Chatto & Windus, asking why Rogers’ first cable of Mar. 4 had not been received. Sam quoted from H.H. Rogers’ letter (not extant):
R. writes me “We sent you a cable on Tuesday March 4, Care Bookseller, as instructed. It was returned the next day; then we sent you another, care Chatto & Windus, & this one returned not back to the Ark.” What was the trouble? President’s inauguration? Isn’t “Bookseller” right? [MTP]. See Mar. 24 to Am. Pub. Co.
