Branford, Conn., July 2.
Dear Sirs:
Hold on—hold on! I did not dream there was so much of Brer Talmage. If you have bought the rest of him, send it along; but if you haven’t, don’t.
Can you send me proofs of the pictures that are thus far completed for my book? Osgood promised, but Osgood forgot.
Ys Truly
S L Clemens
