Hartford Feb. 28.
My Dear Mr. Taylor—
Your appointment was as welcome news ‸to us‸ as it was to the whole country—& now comes a report that you are to sail with your family in the Holsatia, April 11, a ship in which we engaged a couple of rooms a week or ten days ago. If that report is true, please don’t change your mind & leave us poor German-ignorant people to cross the ocean with nobody to talk to.
Truly Yours
S. L. Clemens
