June 17 Sunday – In Dublin, N.H. Sam added to his June 16 to Charlotte Teller Johnson.
Sunday continued. I’ve come back to bed—there was no way to put in the time. It is still raining as hard as ever, & is reposeful & contenting. I finished both letters—oh, acres of MS!— make them kill time for me as long as I could. If by good luck Mr. Rogers says yes—but I know he will, & then I shall do as I’ve said.

June 12 Tuesday – In Dublin, N.H. Sam wrote to Samuel S. McClure. “Just please call on Mr. Rogers & talk your ideas to him about everything. The idea of syndicating those books seems to me a good one & I dont see that it could be objectionable to the publishers at all” [MTP].

June 10 Sunday – In the evening in Dublin, N.H. Sam wrote to Charlotte Teller Johnson.
Let me congratulate, let me shout! I wrote you a good deal of a letter to-day, & took a world of pains with it, in the pretty doubtful hope of persuading you to put the work aside a while & not destroy yourself with it, but I have burnt it without a regret for the labor wasted. Charlotte dear, you have come through handsomely, you remarkable creature! Take a good satisfying rest— you deserve it.

Clärchen dear, many happy returns! it was a joy to hear your dear voice in the telephone yesterday.
