Cambridge April 15, ’76
Dear Sir,
I owe you many apologies for not having sooner answered your kind note of 3d inst. which reached me thro’ Mr. Howells— I was glad to learn that the little trifle I sent had given pleasure to yourself & friends, & all the more from the agreeable way in which you announced it.
Please give my regards to Mrs. Clemens & believe me
Yours very truly
F. Boott
S. L. Clemens Esq
