October 24?27 Tuesday – Sam wrote from Hartford to his mother and family about Twichell, his book’s scheduled publication in March, and his desire to begin lecturing soon at Cleveland [MTL 2: 270-1]. Lorch says Sam had received an invitation to lecture there from Colonel John F. Herrick (1836-1909) [92]. Lorch calls Herrick, “a Quaker City companion,” but he is not listed among the passengers or crew [MTL 2: 385-7]. This latter source, p. 265n7 says Herrick was “elected corresponding secretary of the Cleveland Library Association in May 1868.”
