Branford, June 21/81.

Dear Charley—

Please go to Tiffany’s (you or Annie) & have a silver chatelaine-watch sent here by express. I think the price is $16. I want your aunt Livy’s monogram, O. L. C., engraved on it. I have been trying a long time to remember to make this order—now don’t you [delay.

Tell] them to send the bill to me here.

Ys Truly

S. L. Clemens
