Several of Sam’s writings for this year are as yet undated. Three items were originally part of the
Sandwich Islands Letters. Bret Harte extracted these for publication in the Californian, but they were
collected in The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, and Other Sketches: Honored as a
Curiosity in Honolulu; Short and Singular Rations; The Steed “Oahu” [Camfield bibliog.]. “Il
Trovatore” written but published posthumously [ibid].
