To Charles L. Webster
26 July 1883 • Elmira, N.Y. (MS, in pencil: NPV, UCCL 02346)
Dear Charley—

Run up here, Mon about Monday or Monday night, & lend me your head for a couple of hours.

If you take a day-train, stop over night down town, & come up on the hill at 8 or half-past in the morning. If you come per night-train I can be through with you by noon, & you can take the 1 p. m. train back home.

Ys Truly
S L Clemens
