[(We remain in this our summer home till Sept. 7.〛]


Elmira, N.Y. Aug. 3.

My Dear Mr. Bentley:

This is the first of a series of four articles which are to begin six weeks hence (Sept. 15 or 17) in the October number of the Atlantic. If you desire, you can “simultane” in Temple Bar, beginning about that date, Sept. 15.

I told Howells he must let me have slips for you at least 4 weeks (& I preferred 6) before printing, & he said he would.

If you shouldn’t want these, will you be so kind as to send them to Mr. Chatto for one of his two magazines?

Very Truly Yrs

Sam. L. Clemens.
