To Charles L. Webster
22 September 1883 • Hartford, Conn. (MS: NPV, UCCL 02840)
Dear Charley—

I will write Orion.

Meantime I have arranged a few of the dates myself, since I came home, in order to be ready to practice the game when you send me the board.

Well, I’m very glad to get cheering news about that cursed book—it has been scarce enough.
