Samuel Ward, often referred to as "Uncle Sam," was a "poet, philosopher, lobbyist and bon vivant" who was present at many gatherings held by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky at the Lamasery.[1]

According to Henry Steel Olcott in Old Diary Leaves, Sam Ward sent him a copy of Marion Crawford's novel Mr. Isaacs,[2] which was mentioned in Mahatma Letter No. 102 and 104.
