To Thomas Bailey Aldrich
2 November 1881 • Hartford, Conn. (MS: MH-H, UCCL 02080)
Dear Aldrich—

I did write that article, after all. The check for it has come; so I know I wrote it.

Yrs Ever
Mark.

P. S. Any other articles which you do not wish to be responsible for, remember I am here.


Say—I arrive in Boston about 4 to-morrow afternoon. Let’s dine with Osgood—what do you say? And with Invite Howells—better telegraph him, perhaps.
