Elmira, 20th.
My Dear Pond:
I & the family will arrive at the Brunswick on Tuesday evening. I will talk to you about the lithograph & learn the proposed size & style of it. This is necessary, for Mrs. Clemens is dead opposed to it; & if she remains so, that’ll end it.
A week from to-day I expect to make my reading-selections—that is, as soon as I reach home. Mrs. Clemens’s illness has delayed that matter a week.
Ys T[r]uly
