It's
just a typing error for "1869". But as regards the question, it
is reasonable to suppose that James was influenced by that article even
if there is no evidence other than the evidence for him having read it,
provided there is something in it which suggests this. It was
during a period in which James would have been susceptible to such an
influence (e.g. the metaphysical club was formed in l871).

Are you sure? James died August 26, 1910.

I've been concerned with James lately, particularly his comment about Peirce's essay which he found in "comprehensible," despite Peirce's "vocal elucidations," but which "interested me [James] strangely." Despite Peirce's "crabbed" writing, I think James studied the printed essay later and figured it out. I also think - but want some confirmation - that parts of that "strangely interesting" essay influenced James' with respect to the will to believe and with respect to risk. This is not to say that Peirce would have agreed with what James made of Peirce's essay. The essay which James alluded to, in his letter to Bowditch, seems to have been, "The Grounds of Validity of the Laws of Logic," written in 1969.
