August 17 Tuesday – Sam passed Katharine I. Harrison’s letter of July 30 (which had arrived on Aug. 13; see to Rogers that date) informing him of Bliss’ payment of the $10,000 for FE on to Chatto & Windus. Sam wrote Chatto that they could “send perfected revises to Bliss, now, to the end of the book.” He added he wouldn’t need his MS returned if the printers would “exactly follow it.” He crossed out a request for Chatto to “get a line in the papers to say I am not going to lecture this year in either England or America” [MTHHR 295n1]. Note: this letter catalogued only as “August”; Sam headed it “Tuesday”; Sam’s Aug 13 to H.H. Rogers notes that Harrison’s July 30 had arrived, so this is the first Tuesday after Aug. 13.
