Hartford, Apl. 17 1874–5.–6.

Dear Sir:

I thank you very much for your invitation, but am compelled to decline it, as I am not lecturing at all this season, other duties rendering this course necessary.

Yours truly,

Mark Twain.

[written below printed message:]

P. S.em spaceYour letter has reached me at last, after all these weeks. I wish I could say yes to your proposition, but I have gone to work, now, & cannot quit the harness any more this year.

Res’p,

S. L. C.
