To Karl Gerhardt and Hattie J. Gerhardt
7 May 1883 • Hartford, Conn. (MS, in pencil: MiD, UCCL 02379)
Dear G’s—

Mrs. Clemens will give this letter 2 or 3 days to reach you (as we still have not your address) & then send a box of baby clothing with Mrs. Langdon’s medallion also in it. Therefore, unpack with care, & have the medallion cast in bronze.

In haste

Yrs truly
