My Dear Mrs. Fuller:

Since Frank left I have been too busy with home matters to attend to any business. Mrs. Clemens’ frail health is the [cause. So ] I have left the matter of the “Granger” book alone till Frank shall return. If it is a good thing it will keep—but if it were the best thing in the world I would have to let it alone until his return, anyway.1

The Modoc is well & hearty & joins us in warm regards & best [wi‸shes‸ th ]for you & Frank.

Samℓ. L. Clemens.

1 The “‘Granger’ book,” otherwise unidentified, may have been the work by an “unknown cuss” which Clemens alluded to in his 24 March letter to Aldrich. If so, it is likely that Fuller visited shortly before that date. Olivia had not yet recovered from her near miscarriage on 12 or 13 March.
