October 10 Monday – Edmund Dene Morel, co-founder of the English Congo Reform Assoc. first wrote to Sam. Morel announced that he was sending by express messenger a packet of Congo literature: “…it includes …a special copy of the Memorial, which I would like you to keep and show to any friends as a document of perhaps unique historical interest…” [Gribben 472: MTP].

Morel also said the Earl of Norbury (William Brabazon Lindsay Graham-Toler, 4th Earl of Norbury) had suggested a meeting between them and promised “to seek, if able, to interest you and enlist your sympathies in the question of Congo misrule” [Hawkins 154-5]. Note: See Oct. 15 and 16 for Sam’s reply.
