To Miss Harriet
14 June 1876 • Hartford, Conn.
(MS: ViU, UCCL 01342)

‸Hartford June 14/76.‸

I am a long time answering your letter, my dear Miss Harriet, but then you must remember that it is an equally long time since I received it—so that makes us even, & nobody to blame on either side.

I would send you Mr. Warner’s autograph but I haven’t one, & he is in Europe or else at sea on his way home.1

Truly Yrs
