Sept. 23/82

[Dear Charley]

Is not using my name in that way a kind of forgery, or obtaining money under false pretenses? And can it not be punished? [If yes, go ahead.]

[Ys truly]

[S. L. Clemens]

Your Censor letter was very good indeed, as both your aunt Livy & I think. Osgood is back.

How much could I punish them? To what extent? Jail?—or several thousand dollars damages? Ask Mr. Whitford. Meantime I have a suit pending in Chicago which may cover the case of these Ogilvie bastards.
