Dear Clemens:

I have received your telegram as follows

“Charley is equipped with full authority and also with the amplest possible instructions.”

I take this to be in answer to my letter of Feb 2d, and I shall accordingly write to Webster covering a copy of the telegram and advise him that we shall await his further communications.

It is proper to say that I did not gather from Mr Webster in our interview on Saturday that he was armed with the authority and instructions which you mention. If I had, I should not have troubled you with that letter.

Yours truly

J. R. Osgood

S. L. Clemens Esq.
