To H. P. Hubbard
20 March 1882 • Hartford, Conn.
(New Haven Evening Register, 22 March 1882, UCCL 13249)

[Hartford, Mar. 20/82.]

[Dear Sir:]

[Your] two handsome volumes arrived safely. I found them intensely interesting, [&] read them both through at a single sitting, occupying twenty-three hours. I suppose nobody can say anything handsomer than that about anybody’s book.

[Yours Truly,]

[S. L. Clemens.]
