Dear Sir:
I haven’t the facts, but my elder brother has—Orion Clemens, Keokuk, Iowa. He is hard at work on a long, tough job for me, but I have written him to put it down & take up this matter of yours & attend to it. He had 22 years’ acquaintanceship with my father, but my own knowledge ‸of him‸ amounted to little more than an introduction.
Very Truly Yours
S. L. Clemens
P. S. I wish to subscribe for a copy of the book, to be sent to my home address, Hartford, Conn., with bill for the same.
