To Charles L. Webster
2 July 1884 • Elmira, N.Y. (MS, in pencil: NPV, UCCL 02417)
Dear Charley—

The Osgoods gave you the type-writered tale, “1,002,” & you handed it to me; but I don’t remember that you gave me the 113 (or 121) pictures that belong with it. I don’t remember seeing a single one of the pictures. If they didn’t give them to you, you may apply to them again.

Yrs
S L C

They didn’t return all of the old “left-over” matter, either; but that I don’t care for.
