cunard steam ship batavia

At Sea, Oct. 30.

Dear Sir:

I beg you will pardon this daelay in acknowledging your courtesy—I was so hurried that I had to stop answering letters of all kinds. I thank you very much indeed, & when I return to England neext month I may possibly come to Cambridge, in the course of events—in which case I would be glad to enjoy the hospitality you have so kindly tendered.

Ys Truly

Samℓ. L. Clemens
