Hartford, Dec. 26.
My Dear Sam:
It is funny that you should happen to hit upon the very book I have been wanting, & intending to buy, ever since it was published. I came near buying it in German, once, in Munich, but the binding was extravagantly costly—& besides it was I was not after binding, I only wanted the book.
Your aunt Livy is by no means well, but all the rest of us are. We all send love & Xmas greetings.
Your uncle
S. L. Clemens
