Buf, Mch. 26.
Dear Folks—
The coffin of “Enterprise” files has come—$ expressage $9.50.1 Nothing unright about that, but I had had a sort of a general idea that it would come [ w ] as slow freight along with Annie’s [piana]. However, it would not a have been as safe.
Livy got Annie’s letter yesterday, & both of us were pleased with it.—I, chiefly with the just remarks made about Livy’s comeliness & other attractions. I thought it showed a profound judgment & a mature appreciation, & thus was remarkable coming from one so young. {I will endeavor not to let Livy meddle with that sentence.}
I am going to edit a ten-page department in the “Galaxy” Magazine. The berth is exceedingly easy & the salary liberal. I am to own ‸ rent ‸ the matter to them, not sell it—& so I can use it in book form afterward without divi sharing the proceeds ‸with‸ them.
But I am in a hurry—so I will say good-bye & love to all––
Sam
