To James B. Pond
28? February 1884 • Hartford, Conn. (MS, in pencil: NN-BGC, UCCL 02577)
Dear Mr Clemens

The last I knew of Cable he was in your keeping. You doubtless know where to reach him now—

Tell him, please, that we have made all haste to cure a case of diphtheria so as to get the house in order to receive him—and that we are all ready—

The children came back home yesterday all quarantine restrictions are removed—

With best wishes for you & yours

Faithfully Ever
Chas. Fairchild

Dear Pond—Many thanks for the information about the Bad-Boy play—& love to you & Cable.

Yrs Ever
Mark.
