  • William Steinway is back again in Philadelphia, where, after being prepared by Julius Schiedmayer, he meets Henry K. Oliver at the Judges Hall, and discusses with him the details of “Kupka-Bristow borrowing affair”.
  • William Steinway’s diary: “Schiedmayer gives me $500 to take care of for him.”
  • Later on the same day, F.P.Kupka returns to Friedrich Boscovitz $500 – a half of his “loan”.
  • Charles P. Kimball, Centennial Commissioner of New York State, requests that Albert Steinway writes a statement, to be used by Kimball in the future, if necessary. C.F. Theodor Steinweg writes that statement in German, then William Steinway translates it into English and gives to his brother Albert, so that Albert can hand it to Charles P. Kimball.
