L. Clemens", 2pp. 8vo., New York, "Sunday Pm.' [n.d.], to " Dear Mrs. Susy' 'In part:''..Dr. & Mrs. Rice came a couple of days ago and movedme out of the hotel, & I have prospered ever since,. insomuch, indeed that I mean to forsake my bed & take to the rail once more, whether it is prudent or not - for to my mind nothing is more imprudent than lying abed two weeks in hotels, & I must not run any risk of keeping it up here... if I get straightened out all right I am coming to Hartford before I sail...' One repair to tear at top of second page (on verso) affects one letter of text, mounting traces on right margin of page two, light soiling. Overall, very good.
