William Steinway’s diary: “work with Fritz until 11½ P.M. at Lüchows with him afterwards He tells me that H. W. T. St. embitters his life very much through his pessimistic Ideas”. “Fritz” mentioned here is, Frederick T. Steinway, the youngest brother of Henry W.T. Steinway, and the diary entry indicates that the schism in the family begins to involve more people.
