15 September 1877 • Hartford, Conn. (MS: ViU, UCCL 01480)
I sent you No. 1 of a series of 4 articles which I have been writing for the Atlantic Monthly, & with this I enclose No. 2. I saw Mr. Chatto in New York lately, & told him he could have these advance sheets for one of his magazines in case you did not wish to use them. I have just written Mr. Chatto that I have not heard from you & therefore cannot inform him whether you want the advance sheets or not. I have suggested that he inquire of you.1explanatory note
It is possible, Mr. Bentley, that my letter miscarried, since you may have moved from New Burlington street. I will simply direct this to The Editor of Temple Bar, to make sure.2explanatory note
