2 March 1883 • New York, N.Y. (MS: CU-MARK, UCCL 02353)
Livy darling, I haven’t found out, yet, whether I shall stop over Sunday or not. On Monday Vignaux, the greatest billiard man that ever lived, will give an exhibition (private) before journalists & invited guests, & of course I am perishing to see it. It will be an event memorable for a lifetime. I’ll write you again, or telegraph.
We dined at Union league, played billiards 2 hours, got to bed at 10, slept 8 solid hours without stimulants, & got up as fine as a fiddle this morning.
Mrs. S. L. Clemens | Hartford | Conn. return address: return to s. l. clemens, hartford, conn., if not delivered within 10 days. postmarked new york mar 2 1100am and hartford mar 2 8pm recd
