slcLivy darling, I love you more than I can tell—on a card of this size, or any other. Dined with those leddy-hets last night till 12, then went to bed. It was a [MS page 2] delicious
dinner. I have but this moment got out of bed. Used no whisky or other liquor to sleep on—was utterly tired out.1
Osgood was in 2 hours ago. Am looking for Harte, now.2
Mrs. T. B. Aldrich called—shall go presently & return it. With
vast love.
Samℓ.
