my dear cable,
all right, to sleep i go; until i get you here and put you under the cross-question,——possibly to the torture. meantime, i shall hope that you will reach here as soon as you are expecting to do so. i have been collecting some beautiful weather, and a comet and a lot of other things which mrs. clemens and i supposed might please you, to show you what we can do up north when we try. and besides, i shall finish my book this week i think, for i have already just finished writing all i don’t know about new orleans.
truly yours,
s. l. clemens.
