Hartford, Dec. 16/80.
My Dear Osgood—
I am mighty glad Howells thinks so well of the book; & I hoped to goodness he used his damnifying pencil fre on the MS, in which case I shall know where to enlarge, knock out, & otherwise amend.
Your program for the New York trip cannot be improved on. Stick to it. Stop over here one train & I will go down with you & we will do the rest as you have proposed.
Ys Truly

Tell Howells to fetch along my umbrella if he has not sold it.—I mean pawned it.
