Hartford,Ⓐemendation Nov. 22, 1881.
Dear Sir:Ⓐemendation—I have received the Honolulu paper; &Ⓐemendation after reading half of that dream, I recognize the fact that I did write it, after all. I had totally forgotten it. It is a worthless piece of rubbish. I must have been pretty young then,—or sick or something. Please either tear it out of your record book or paste this letter in to keep it company &Ⓐemendation testify my opinion of the performance.
Yours truly,
S. L. Clemens.Ⓐemendation
