S. L. Clemens Esq.,
Dear Sir:
I send this day, pr. mail, a copy of “Leedle Yawcob Strauss, and other Poems,” this being my first attempt,—in the way of a book,—as a contributor to the general fund of humor. Please accept the same as a slight return for the pleasure derived from the products of your pen.
Very truly yours,
Chas. F. Adams.
