To James R. Osgood
22 August 1881 • Elmira, N.Y. (MS: MH-H, UCCL 02011)
My Dear Osgood—

All right—but before you order a room for me at the Vendôme, I wish you’d ask Howells if Mrs. Howells didn’t mean to let me come to her house in case Mrs. Clemens couldn’t. For in that case I shall want to stop with Howells instead of going to the hotel.

Ys Truly
S L Clemens
