August 17, 1889 Saturday
August 17 Saturday – In Elmira Sam telegraphed Richard Watson Gilder of the Century:
…put into the proofs every alteration and every modification you would like made and I will then decide at once [MTP].
Sam also telegraphed and wrote to Francis Dalzell Finlay, answering his July 29, which had been delayed. Sam attributed the delay in the forwarding of the letter to “the carelessness of my business agent in Hartford,” (Franklin G. Whitmore.)
