Will M. ClemensⒶemendation:
My Dear Friend—Your letter received. Lord bless your heart! I would like ever so much to comply with your request, but I am thrashing away at my new book, & am afraid that I should not find time to write my own epitaph in case I was suddenly called for.
Wishing you & your book well, believe me,
Yours truly,
Samuel L. ClemensⒶemendation.
