Mr. Hutchings—
Dear Sir—
I’ll not be able to tell for two or three weeks, yet, what the subject will be—shan’t go to work at it before then. I’ll not have two subjects, though—only one. I have written Medbery not to lecture me for Y. M. C. A. before I talk for the Clayonians. (I have two agents, & by this means I am enabled not to know anything whatever about my own business, with unfailing promptness. I m suppose it is all right.)1
Resignedly Yrs.
Clemens.
Personal.
