October 16 Sunday – At the Grosvenor Hotel in N.Y.C. Sam finished his Oct. 15 letter to Edmund Dene Morel. “The Senate Memorial reached me early this a.m., & I remained in bed to read it./ If anything can be done—but come & let us talk about it.” Sam wanted another copy of the Senate Memorial “& some terrible illustrations” [MTP]. Note: Gribben identifies this as Memorial Concerning Conditions in the Independent State of the Kongo. April 19, 1904. Committee on Foreign Relations. U. S. Senate. 58th Congress, 2d Session. Document No. 282 [462].

Sam had planned to leave for Fairhaven, Mass. where he would stay for a “real rest” until Oct. 22 [Oct. 23 to Crane]. Note: it is not clear if Sam made the trip, but if Morel visited Sam on Oct. 17, then the trip was postponed.
